Default possible to deter neighborhood cats from using yard as litterbox?

We've been living in this house for about 2 years. Recently, we
noticed that some neighborhood cat has been using our vegetable/fruit
garden area as a litterbox. Most of this area is open and covered
with weedmat with woodchips over it. Are there good ways to deter the
cats, without either harming them or our veggies and fruits? I
suspect part of our problem is we live on a corner lot....

Thanks in advance!

Lil, when you get any serious answers I certainly would be interested
also. My mother has a cat that loves to use mine as a litter box also.
So far the only thing that I have found that chases them is I squirt
them with the hose. But that is only a very temporary solution. Also
that only works when I am around to see them in the garden.
