Keeping Neighbor Cats Out of a Flower Garden
There are all kinds of spray repellents to keep animals out of gardens and yards, but most of them simply don't work, or have to be reapplied on a regular basis--like every 2 to 3 days.
One thing you can do, and it's worked for me, is put out a layer of volcanic rock as a mulch--make sure you cover the ground well. Cats, and probably other neighboring wildlife, don't like the feel of the sharp edges of volcanic rock on the pads of their feet, so they tend to avoid it.
You can usually find volcanic rock in a home building center, in their garden section, and for a decent price.
If you try this, let me know how it worked for you!
