How to stop cats pooing in my vegetable patch

Steve · 2014-05-23 19:54:10

So, I've got some spuds and other veg growing in pots and ready to transplant onto the garden. Problem is the patch in the garden I've prepared has somehow been deemed by the neighborhood cats as a perfect place to have their daily crap. Any suggestions? I've tried pepper dust - no help. I really don't want to have to eat…

I had the same problem a couple of years ago, tried all of the techniques & sprays. I ended up with net fence type stuff and they just kept getting through! Persistent! Then I planted wild flowers, the came up quick and suddenly the area became a play area! It still is to this day, with a lovely lavender plant right beside it that doesn't bother them!

Could you use a sun tunnel in the area until they move off?

Presumably the liquid kind, not the solid??

Garotta has never failed me in the bin.

Aye, the liquid gold. Garotta?

Most DIY/garden shops have it.
