:> I haven't had any problems with my cat eating anything :> in my garden. Now, if I could just convince her that the :> 6' x 12' raised bed isn't 72 square feet of litterbox... :> :> Scott... KCK : :Had that problem too.. especially around the tomato plants.. the cats would do :their business I also had this problem, I took a bottle of our sauce and poured a little around the outer perimeter of the raised bed on top of the wood and they never came back... but now Ive expanded my raised bed and am waiting to see how it will get handled this year. We have alot of rabbits in our trailer park (and skunks too) and I had to plant marigolds all the way around them to help keep them at bay ( I heard that rabbits cannot stand the odor or taste of marigolds), my peppers have been out for almost a week now and they seem very healthy - although the damn flee beatles already attacked my tomatillos , but a squirt of crasathomum (spell?) juice made then run for the hills..hehe :-) Tom 'looking forward to that first bite of raw heat' Cuneo
