    A few years ago I wrote an article on How To Keep Cats Out Of Your Garden. As well as placing a copy on my website I submitted it to Ezine Articles where it has been viewed over 152,000 times. Clearly cats are a problem for many gardeners and although various solutions have been suggested, none appear to be particularly effective. I found this article which is concerned with keeping your cats in the garden and preventing them from escaping into the neighbourhood, but it seems that the remedy they suggest would be equally effective at keeping other cats out. The basic idea is that you erect a special type of netting on top of your garden fence. Because the netting is flimsy the cat cannot get a grip and vault itself over. The article includes a link to a page with detailed insructions for a Do-It-Yourself Cat Fence.  Read more..

    Raised Beds are so popular nowadays that some people believe that you cannot grow vegetables without one. To buy the timber kit and suitable soil to fill it from a garden center will set you back quite a few $$$, and this has led people to think that they cannot afford to start a garden. People turn to growing their own vegetables with a view to saving money, but often it turns out that it would be cheaper to buy from your local supermarket when you take account of all you have spent on plants and fertilizer as well as tools and equipment. But help is at hand in the form of Maureen Gilmer whose Small Budget Gardener: All the Dirt on Saving Money in Your Garden contains helpful tips and advice on how you can create beautiful, healthy sustainable landscapes with recycled materials and limited resources.

    This was the title of an article that I wrote way back in December 2004 and submitted to the Ezine Articles Directory. Keeping cats, in particular other people’s cats, out of your garden is clearly a major problem judging by the number of sites that show up when you type “cat repellent” into Google or one of the other search engines. Every now and again I receive an email from Ezine Articles advising me that someone has commented on my article. In fact their email which arrived this morning prompted me to write this post.

    Suggestions from people who left comments included sprinkling lime, moth balls, eucalyptus oil and silent roar, but others felt that the first two could actually harm the cats and so were not a good idea.

    Another article I found listed 30 tips, but admitted that most were ineffective and that the one thing that had solved his problem was an ultrasonic cat repeller. Then again others have found these to be useless.

    If you want to read my article which I see has now been viewed over 135,000 times, you can find it here. Please leave a comment.
