How to keep cats away from your garden beds so they don't trample the seedlings: an original life hack
Domestic animals are always eager to make a toilet or a sleeping place in the garden bed.
Many pet owners know that cats love to lie on the soft soil in the beds, while away the time in the shade of plants or just sleep. However, such attention greatly affects the plantings and can die.
It's easy to wean cats off your garden beds if you know some useful tricks.
Plants that repel cats
Pets will never sleep in the garden beds if lavender or coleus canina are among the plantings.
Unpretentious plants are safe for people, but they can cause disgust in cats with their pungent smell.
Plant these flowers in flowerbeds, near garden beds or around the perimeter of the garden - and cats will forget the way to the area.
The plantings will be protected if the beds are sprinkled with straw or pine needles. You can hang a bell near the beds, which will make sounds with any gust of wind and scare away animals.
Use essential oils or enclose the beds with netting.
