How do I keep cats(there are only two farm cats) from frequenting my flower beds? I've done the local nursery recommended plants to keep them away naturally, the coffee grounds, garlic, pepper, etc. I planted sage and & citronella and they went right next to them. We are in the country and the whole drive is sand...why they don't use that beats me. Also, how do I keep my dog out. I planted bulbs with bone meal, duh, whoda thunk the dog wouldn't dig there? They are never in it when I'm outside so I can't catch them. They are scared of my stink eye!
