Hi all,

First time posting here.....

I have built some troughs in my garden and planted them out yesterday.

Got up this morning popped outside to have a look at my handy work only to
find that a cat had been in one of the troughs dug it up and left a small
package to say it had been there.

How can I keep the cats out !!!

You can place mothballs in the troughs, or orange peel, or olbas oil or
buy some of the branded 'pet off' crystals etc.
