Hi,
I have just planted out some sweet corn seeds in a newly cultivated patch of dirt and after watching one of my five cats closely have been trying to work out how to keep her [them] from using the area as a toilet - at least until the seedlings are big enough to handle trespassers.
I thought about a lattice fence - decided they would jump over that. Then thought of a chicken wire fence, but thought that would need a 'roof.' Thought of keeping the sprinkler nearby, to either keep the soil damp or to turn on when one approached the area but then I would have to watch it 24 hours a day.
Any other suggestions?
