Hi All,
New to the forum and new to home gardening. We have built a lovely raised bed in our garden and I have planted some seeds which are coming along nicely.
However, over the past two weeks I have noticed a lot of cat poo from our neighbour's cats. Some of the nice rows of seeds have been ruined by digging cats although some seedlings are doing fine.
This week I am going to collect the droppings from my plot and fence off the whole lot to stop them getting in. However, I wondered if it would still be ok (i.e. not toxic) for me to let the seedlings grow and replace the dug up ones in the existing rows after I have done this? Or should I remove them all and start again?
Will they absorb any of the harmful elements into the growing plants at this early stage? Or is it more an issue of cat poo on the veg itself before you eat it? I have a similar problem with rhubarb bed which has become a toilet.
Thanks a lot!
