Cats

Question

Can I put a layer of topsoil with manure in it down under where I put all my new mulch to keep the neighbors cats out of it ? They use all my new mulch as a litter box every year and I don’t know what to do!! I have used the stuff you sprinkle on your lawn to keep them out. Doesn’t work. Thank you, Heather Whipkey

Answer 1

The only way to really keep cats or other animals out of compost is to use a closed compost system.
Certainly try your system, it could work.
