How do I keep cats out of my vegetable gardens?

by admin on October 23, 2009

I have several small vegetable gardens around the yard. There are a number of cats in the neighborhood who dig holes and do their business. I am looking for an easy and cheap way to keep the cats out of the garden, without using chemicals or injuring the cats. What works for this?

Thanks for visiting. Your comments are always welcome!

It’s cheap and it works.. Also I have heard that those motion detector spinklers works quite well, however they are a bit pricy.. good luck
