We love using Cocoa Mulch to keep the cats out of our planting beds! It's
super easy to work with, looks good, and smells great!

I don't know how large of an area you have but if Cocoa Mulch doesn't work
for you, you may need to put up a chicken wire fence that the cats would
have to climb over to get in. This is just a guess but if you build it so it
has a lot of flexibility the cats may not want to go through the hassle.

Thanks,

Hi

It's springtime. The garden soil is soft and has been turned once. The
gang of neighborhood cats have decided that my vegetable garden plot is
the place to crap in. It stinks to the heavens and I particularly don't
want it where I grow food. I have to search out the spot where they
their bury it and dig it out to dispose of it. What can I do to put a
stop to this? No, I can't shoot them. Poison is out, I have a dog, and
young children around.

Thanks, Al
