permaculture

[Graham <grahamburnett@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Ah yes a perennial problem.... Cat shit is the bane of my otherwise 
model urban permaculture garden (ha ha, more than a hint of sarcasm...) 
At one point  I was driven to the point of suggesting killing a cat and 
nailing it's mummified body up to my beautiful 'anti-war' carved archway 
as a cat detterent, but folks on the various vegan forums I'm on thought 
that was a bit over the top and would make me a valid target for the 
ALF, so I calmed down  a bit (and wasn't being serious anyway, for all 
you irony-free types). But the issue of cat shit still remains one of 
the most pressing conundrums for the 'problem is the solution' mindset. 
any solutions that ACTUALLY WORK greatly appreciated....
