Or if that is not an option, plant a large patch of catnip nearby, (it's a mint so grows easily and spreads) to attract the cats away from the main garden. Good luck! Even better, plant the mint in the neighbours' gardens, :-) I'll have to do that myself Good idea. G Herbs are available right now at Wal-Mart. I even found some catnip there! I have the same problem, so I will try that white vinegar too. I've found the smell takes weeks to go and who wants to eat urinated greens anyway? I wonder if a mild vinegar/water solution would harm the plants? Presently I'm thinking a physical barrier is the only way to be sure. If you don't want to put up a full fence, a low hotwire will probably do, and it's harmless and not unsightly. Tractor supply carries kits. This also tends to keep rabbits and squirrels out of the garden. Picture a cat spraying on a hotwire! eg Ok, prolly not funny and I'm a cat lover too, but I DO get sick of cat spray from neighbors cats that should NOT be running loose. This being Texas, with alkaline water and soil from limestone, a little acidity added to the soil probably won't hurt. Just be careful!
