Scardy Cat plants have a strong smell that is supposed to deter cats
We have even more garden uses for plastic bottles this week, including one involving liquid gold.
But mainly we’re talking about cats – the problems they cause in the garden and how you can try to deter them from causing problems. Greenprints magazine tell us a story that might make us rethink our position on garden cats, and we learn how to make a special cat garden.
Whether you’re trying to keep cats out of your garden, or make them feel at home, take a look at my ebook – My Garden is Not a Cat Toilet: 101 ways to stop cats wrecking your garden for more ideas.
And if you’re on Facebook then you can come and join the new AKG Facebook group and say hello there.
On Friday 16th November I will be releasing a special edition of the AKG to support the BBC Children in Need appeal. In the run up to the show I will also be writing articles and blog posts on the same subject. If you have any stories, or hints and tips, about growing edible plants from pips and stones, then send me an email and I will include them in the show.
