Hi,

I'm a newcomer to this discussion board and a beginner gardener. I'd
appreciate some advice on a particular problem
We have inherited a very bare garden, and neighbourhood cats are using
it as a loo. We have planted ferns, lavender, rosemary, various other
plants but cannot hope to fill up the beds with plants in a short
period, so thinking of a mulch. I assume bark/wood chips would not deter
cats in their digging? Thinking of using large cobbles. Any advice
welcome! Also welcome advice on fast-growing evergreen plants which will
provide ground cover,

Thanks,

lavenderlover

I think you need to get yourself a good book on garden design. Your
question is too general to be answered.
