  • I have had some success using bits of sticks stuck in the ground (10-15cm) & teasel heads (that have already set seed) or anything prickly. The cat wont want to go anywhere they think they will get prickled. Hope this helps, good luck

  • This may be strange but I seem to remember an old remedy of Lion or Tiger wee, it's apparently readily available and does the trick. Hope this helps :)

  • On the citrus front - try scattering the peal from oranges or grapefruits around the edges. Needs renewing every few weeks, though.

  • Sorry, think my earlier post got lost. We use roofing slates and planks between rows to keep our cats off. Also, firm the soil after cultivation, compost spreading, tilling etc.. with a plank or your boot. cats prefer loose soil.
    Other wise cover with fleece, net, twigs and thread etc...

  • actually, thinking about it, you could make an outdoor sandbox tray for the cat and encourage it to use it
