How to discourage cats from fouling the Garden?

I have read that fresh orange peel distributed on the area where the cat likes to dig will discourage them from digging there. They don't like citrus oils, so you might try eating an orange and just dumping the peel there. As well as doing the discouraging thing, you might try leaving an area which is unimportant freshly dug over - which will train them to us that area, rather than the areas you want them to avoid. What has worked for me is to get small pea sticks, or kebab sticks, and put them in the ground in the area that the cat likes to deposit in. If you space them closely enough - say 15 cm apart, in a diamond pattern, the cat will not be able to dig, and will be encouraged to go somewhere else.
