old cat's poo in veg patch

Teetime I have strategically placed silent sonic cat scarers in my garden too. I had the same pair for years now and they're still going strong. They also flash.

I can't hear them but the GC and other chukdren/teenagers can.

No cats anymore

I'm afraid the odd cat poo is a fact of life, Obviously it will prevent the plant nearest to it from growing properly, but ants tend to eat them pretty quickly, I am surprised you managed to have one old enough to go white as the ants are usually pretty quick off the mark. I managed to keep cats off my veg garden by covering each row with a length of wire mesh, which also keeps the pigeons off. Once the plants get big enough and cover all the soil, the cats stay away on the whole. The problem has been completely solved this year, by having raised beds. They haven't been inclined to use those at all. We have no cats, but one neighbour has three, the other has two and there are various others all looking for fresh territory. As I also have fox poo and hedgehog poo to contend with, to say nothing of goose and chicken poo and pigeon poo, the odd bit of cat poo in exchange for their disposing of my mice seems a small price to pay - except I do wish they wouldn't leave them right on my path to my outside freezer for me to tread on in the dark!

How do you know that it was poo from an old cat?

It reminds me of MIL stomping into the garden centre and having loudly complained, on a very busy Saturday morning, that their plants had 'thousands of snails eggs' and she'd spent hours picking them out and here was the proof.
She was politely informed that 'Madam, that is slow release fertiliser'.......

I was told about this by three different friends who witnessed her rant!

I bet they loved you at the garden centre

Garlic granules work wonders as does a strategically-used hosepipe

Or get some of that Silent Roar lion dung fertiliser. Keeps the cats away, but also puts anyone else off visiting your garden!

I net my veg patch when I have just planted otherwise it all gets dug up by cats as well as pooped on! I remove the poop with a trowel and dig it in at the back of the flower bed. Sprinkle orange/satusma /grapefruit peel around..that puts them off!

old cat poo won't harm your plants its not nice but not damaging to plants.

Dh was sick to death and sick to the stomach of clearing our neighbours' cat poo from front and back gardens on a daily basis. Since he installed two 'silent' sonic devices available from Amazon magic - no cat poo.

Why unrealistic to move it? anyway, poo is poo and will not damage any plants.
