Re: Garden 2.0: the embiggening (none / 1)

That doesn't sound right, unless they concentrated on a single plant for some reason or you had lots of cats in a small area - Sam's grandmother has difficulty growing things in her small back yard with several cats at a time and very small growing beds.

The little buggers will dig up areas of open soil to bury their crap though, which is the main problem with them.

Yeah, that might be the one. Very small plot, lossa cats, none of them his, but they liked his garden for some reason. Maybe he was the only one who didn't beat them with a stick, or maybe it was the only garden that didn't have its own cat(s) so it was a public space for t'others.

Large doses of cat pee will definitely kill plants. To keep them out of pots, people here put pinecones on top of the soil -- it doesn't hurt the plant, you can water over them, and the cats can't stand on them. Don't know if that would work on a whole bed, though. You'd need an awful lot of pine cones.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
