    13 cats !!!
    It's a minefield you need!

    I too have used clippings over beds but it looks so unsightly. It's a shame we have to resort to it.

    Your neighbour should be held accountable for their mess. It's just not fair. It's they who are unresponsible. You have my sympathies.
    Clay soil is just the big yins way of letting you know nothing good comes easy.

      There's not enough super soakers in the world for that one!

          Sorry, I was just annoyed as I had cleared the poo about 5 times. It wouldn't normally affect me but I had spent about 3 days filling it up with expensive topsoil we had bought and was at wits end.

          I haven't actually bought anything other than covering up the bed with netting and will construct cages for when they are finished. I don't want to poison cats but I actually do plant a few lilies and they are in messy borders so the cats won't want to get there until I've bothered to weed.

          I'm not actually going to kill any cats, although I've dispatched a few other furry animals in my life.

            I got the same problem from cats too. Since then, I put orange peels outside, well, any citroen fruit peels. Then cover soil with newspaper if it is not in use or put twigs vertical on soil. Rarely get any now.

                When I first moved to this house my neighbour had 17 cats. I got an ex-racing greyhound and they very rarely ventured into my garden after that. Neighbour got the message and gradually moved them on to other homes and only has one now.
