cats and borders

North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

Does anyone know if citrus peel works to keep cats off a newly dug border, or any other tips at the moment i have put lots of bamboo canes in it to try and keep them off, i can almost see the neighbourhood cats queueing up to use it!!!

Ha I bet you can too. I dont see why citrus peel shouldn't work, because the cat repellant that you can buy has a citrus odour, but I think you might have to eat a lot of oranges...........

Have you got any holly you could cut and poke in the soil? That used to work for me when I had empty dug over spaces which seems to be what cats like.

The most successful thing I've used on borders where I was growing seedlings is upsidedown empty wire hanging baskets on the earth. Like little domes over the soil until the plants got going.
