About Me

My photo
I have lived all my life in Ontario, Canada and moved from Toronto to a small town in rural Ontario almost 23 years ago.  I love it here! Everything moves at a slower pace and there is room to grow lots of various plants.  I have 5 children whom are all adults now and two granddaughters that I adore.  I love to learn, learn and learn some more about the various uses for plants, companion gardening, natural methods of pest control etc. etc. etc.

Keeping cats out of your potted plants

Anyone else out there ever have trouble with their cat using their indoor pot for a toilet?? Get yourself a box of toothpicks and place them in the soil surrounding your potted plant with about 1/2 of their length sticking out. When the cat jumps or steps inside he will not be pleased.

I wish this trick worked for Rambo! He just pulls the toothpicks out and chews on them. Scares me, because he almost gets them jammed in his mouth :S I was thinking of trying chicken wire over the dirt..He doesn't use it as a litter box, just likes to play around.
