I'm fighting a losing battle against dogs urinating on my box hedging,
at the front of my garden, and making the plants die back.

The box hedging down the path is wonderful and indicates how nice the
front one would have been.

I was going to take the front ones up and replace them with Lonicera
Nitida Baggsen's Gold.

Would this fair better against the dogs?

TIA


Had you thought of putting an electronic cat alarm there? It would have
to be placed away from public prying eyes, but if they keep the damn
vermin cats out of our garden :-) it might work with the dogs

'Could' you put one where not seen?

Worth a try

Yeah I thought about this and it would work when the hedge was low. Thing
is it wouldn't work when the hedge is about 4 feet high unless the
Ultrasonic is on the other side of the hedge in which case it would be
very visible and would be stolen.


I gathered this might be the case when you said front garden and dogs,
assuming they were other people's dogs.

Oh well, back to the drawing board, sorry I can't help.
