Keeping cats from littering in garden?
We've recently moved into a new house, cleared loads of weeds from the
garden in preparation for doing something with it, and currently have a garden that consists only of soil. There are apparently a few cats in the area which (perhaps unsurprisingly) find this an extremely attractive area to defeacate. Nothing against cats, used to have one myself a few years back, but it's really getting to be a problem. Some gets buried, some left on the surface. Does anyone have any advice on keeping cats out of the garden (or more to the point, stopping them crapping all over the place), I'd be happy enough for them to come and say hello! Citrus has been suggested, hasn't seemed to have any great effect, though it has been raining a lot lately. TIA |

TIA Chicken wire just pinned down between the plants will keep them from scratching in the beds. Or a motion activated sprinkler. Or, just learning to accept the extra fertilizer. |
