It's never fun to discover a friendly neighbourhood cat has been using your garden as a litter tray
Any gardener will be able to share their horticultural nightmares, from discovering a plant that you really don't want to find, to finding that your favourite bit of greenery has inexplicably died for no reason. One thing that's incredibly unpleasant though is realising that your neighbour's cuddly little cat has decided to use your garden as a litter tray.
Alison Ryan, who has been gardening for over 40 years, said: "What cats like is nice easy to use soil which they can use as a toilet and that is the biggest problem gardeners have. So either densely plant so there is no spare ground so they can get their paws in. Best product to stop snails and slugs? Alison said: "The best thing you can do is get a pond in your garden which will entice frogs and toads who will do the pest control for you. If you are not going to go down that route you want to make life difficult for them, so you want to give them hard surface that they do not like to climb over like eggshells and gravel."
Best time of day to water your garden Alison said: "First thing in the morning or first thing in the evening. If you do it in the middle of the day the sun is at its highest point and the heat will evaporate the water before it has a chance to do anything."
