    Mothballs are toxic so don't use them around your garden or anywhere that a child might get into them. The easiest way to keep the cats out of the garden is to dig a place where you would rather they go. It is the loose dirt that attracts them. Then mulch your garden with newspaper. Just open the pages to the size that fits between your rows then water it down good. You can use rocks or heavy sticks to keep the paper from blowing away. This is good for a lot of reasons besides keeping the cats out. It keeps the weeds from growing and keeps the soil moist so you don't have to water as often. You want to end up with about an inch thick mat of paper between each row, you can put straw, grass clippings or leaves on top or just keep adding news paper as the old stuff breaks down. Happy gardening

    Get a super soaker squirt gun and squirt the cat when it's in the garden.

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
