What do you mean by "dug out"? Did you actually remove the top 3" of
soil? What lies below the 3" depth of which you speak? If it is
solid rock you will be very restricted in what you can do with that
area.

i have heard the plant scaredy cat can help keep cats away, but i would imagine that would be just in the growing season. You can keep it in pots and move around the garden where it is required. another good one is lion dung but how you get that i dont know, maybe you have a zoo nearby.

There's a lion poo based product available at garden centres. I bought
some - about £8 for a big box. I had previously tried a spray only to have a
cat come back every day and do its business.
Since I put the lion stuff down the cat has been nowhere near, so I'd say it
was very effective!!!

The header for this doesn't match the post......

-I've no idea what you can fill your garden with, but to keep cats away,
many people use 2 litre clear plastic bottles with the labels removed filled
with water (no air bubble)...how these work is unclear but apparently they
are quite effective even if unsightly..I've heard the cat's see their own
reflection in the water, and as they are territorial, make a hasty escape!
