Deterring cats with coffee grounds?
Posted: Mar 04, 2005 7:30 pm
For as tired as I am today , I had an inspiring idea !
We always have problems with our neighbor's cats using our garden as their litterbox (oh, joy). Lately I've been going to Starbucks and getting the big bags of their used coffee grounds - free - and adding them to my compost. I had the idea to spread the grounds out all along the ground near the fence where the cats hop over... it smells strongly of coffee and I'm hoping it'll keep the cats away.
Has anyone tried this before? I'm hoping it'll work, at least for a while. I can keep going back to Starbucks and getting as many bags of grounds as I want
