I have a big problem with cats fowling on my garden. I have been told
to use pepper, but this only lasts while we have dry weather. This
time of year is not practical, does anybody have any ideas that work
in the wet or wintery weather.

Electric fences work exceptionally well in wet weather! Cats like to
poop in loose soil, so a mulch discourages that. Also, try thorny
branches, sweetgum balls, motion detection sprinklers, etc.
