Some of the cat repellant pellets (Puss Off) have a citrus scent similar to
Jif. Our cat used to smell them out of interest so I can believe anyone who
says Jif is not necessarily effective.
Chilli powder or Cayenne pepper works, my grandmother used to use it, and I
have used it to protect a newly sown lawn and bird food from squirrels.
You have to find a cheap source. (Asian Emporium)
Another treatment-but you may not consider it natural- is to put small jars
containing ammonia around the area to be protected.
A water on treatment based on Ammonium Alum will be a slow release agent for
ammonia and could be purchased under the name of Scent Off. This is claimed
to work for a range of animals and seemed to be effective on an allotment I
had adjacent to open country where an unknown culprit (not pigeon) either
rabbit or partridge) was eating brassicas.

So are there any ways I can keep her away from the seed beds.

Squirt a Jif lemon about.


Urban Myth - it doesn't work

It does in my garden. The cats walk on the paths because I only spray
around the plants.
