To keep the cats owned by my inconsiderate neighbours from digging up my seed beds and using them as a cats toilet, I dust the area with a mixture of garlic and chilli powder. It doesn't seem to do the cats any harm, and they definitely stay away (until the rain washes the powder away).
I love collecting gardening tips. Would anyone like to share a personal gardening tip that is unique to themselves?
Whenever you see that many of your plant leaves are growing yellow it means that you are over watering it.
