How can I keep my cats from using my vegetable garden as a litter box?

vegetable gardening
drissy29 asked:


It’s a boxed in area..actually there are two. I just took 2 wheelbarrels full of cat poop out and am now ready to plant my vegetable garden.

Someone suggested wet newspaper surrounding each plant..but my cats are pretty smart. They might just think I’ve provided them something to read while they do their business.

I’m leaning more towards some kind of chicken wire structure that has a removable top to allow for the plant growth.

Any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated

    An old collegue of mine used to use eucalyptus oil on old teabags (as they’re biodegradable) apparently this kept cats away. Another thing is plastic bottles like lemonade bottles filled half full of water - I have seen people doing this but not sure if it works or not, its supposed to scare them off.
