Going to have the grass taken out in the backyard to put in a nice sized vegetable garden. Want it to be as organic and safe as possible as the vegetables are going to be used to make baby food for my grandbaby when she gets on food. I know there's a rat/mouse problem as they ate a lot of my tomatoes last year. I finally put some cubes of rat poison on the wall of the planter and that took care of the problem. But when I plant stuff where the grass was and it's flat on the ground, would it be safe to put the poison anywhere near the garden on the dirt? Would it help to place the cubes on top of some foil so nothing leaks into the soil? Is there a better way to get rid of these rats? Also, do lizards eat the plants? Lots of lizards in the yard and not sure if they are the culprits as well, but don't want to kill them--just the rats!
