Gardeners often struggle with cats using their gardens as litter boxes. But there's a simple solution to keep cats away from your plants.
Harry Bodell from PriceYourJob suggests using pebbles. Cats don't like walking on the hard edges of pebbles, which deters them from digging and using the area as a toilet.
Crushed eggshells also work well. The sharp edges are uncomfortable for cats' paws, and the calcium is good for the soil. Strong-smelling plants like lavender and rosemary can also repel cats.
The scaredy cat plant, geraniums, lemon balm, curry plant, quince, shrub roses and pyracantha are also effective. These plants deter cats because of their scent or thorns.
These simple tricks can help you protect your garden from unwanted feline visitors. Enjoy your beautiful, cat-free garden this spring!
