Outside the front of our house we have a raised bed. The previous owners
never bothered with it and now the local cats, of which there are many,
have
gotten used to using it as a toilet. What can I do (if anything) to get
rid
of the cats? What can I plant to both deter the cats and give quick
ground
coverage?


Water in some quite dilute Jeyes Fluid, they hate it.

Not too strong, mind you, strong Jeyes can kill cats and you only want
to deter, don't you?


Do you know if Jeyes if harmful to plants? Not that we have any there at the
moment


Stick a teaspoonful in a gallon of water and slosh it about on the
soil. That won't harm plants and it will break down over a few weeks.
Technically its supposed to be illegal but I suppose you could put
some seed trays down to be sterilised and sort of accidentally spill a
bit or even pour some on the surrounding stonework.
Hard-surface sterilisation is not prohibited after all.
