Hi folks,
Have some gravel areas in my garden and they are fast becoming an unwelcome problem. I live in a detached house and my neighbour, the owner of five, yes five cats is quite a distance away. I expect the cat poo and clear it up regularly. I also use a super duper water pistol on occasions to deter them. Put a sonic cat detterent in as well and they peed all over it and took no notice of the noise it emitted. The problem is that although I put a double liner under the gravel I am getting weeds popping up in abundance. This didn't happen last year when I first laid this gravel. Someone suggested that the weeds are actually coming through from any cat poo that I may have missed. The weeds are manageable and their roots are not strong but it is an added chore. Any suggestions gratefully received before I revamp it at extra cost and put down some paving??
