As I weaned cats digging the beds and defecate in the garden?

Many summer visitors come to the country, not only for a couple of days, but also longer periods. Including my family spends a lot of time in the country, and together with us and our two cats.

But before our cats loved to wander through the garden beds, start something to dig, have just planted seedlings and to celebrate there is a need, which is pretty much makes me mad.

Therefore, without hesitation, we decided to try several ways to discourage cats from our walks in the garden.

Plan to fight the cats

Rabitz

Previously, the area of ​​my garden was separated from the court of an old wooden fence and instead, to once again to repair it was strongly decided to replace it with wire netting netting.

Interesting: «Who should not eat tomatoes?»

It was the first blow to my cats, as they climb the grid could not, unlike wood. But still continued to somehow get into the garden. Also from the neighbors we still separates the wooden fence, so the neighbor's cat feel frivolous.

aromatics

But it was too early to give up, so I esteemed and learned that cats do not like the smell of mint. But to plant mint around the perimeter of the garden is a bad idea, as it quickly razrastotsya as a weed, but it is difficult to get rid of.

So I seedling mint for several pots and placed first at the entrance to the garden (I have two inputs) as the aromatic duty. Soon, a few pots and added that the perimeter of the fence, which remained wood to cats there stile.

emergency measures

Personally, I had the first two steps - the cats stopped prolazili in the garden and soon so used to it that removing pots of mint, I still do not see them.

But there a couple of other tricks:

• Pour in the vegetable garden at the entrance to the sharp gravel or gravel - cats sensitive pads on the feet and they do not like to walk on the rubble.
  
• Cover the most important in your garden beds ordinary spruce spruce branches. The meaning is the same - spruce branches prickly and cats will get round it.
  
• Finally special preparations. The stores sell special granules, which can be expanded in the perimeter of the garden beds to deter cats and other intruders.
