I'm new to gardening and recently put in my first flower bed. I've been having some trouble with stray cats making themselves at home in it. I've seen a few home remedies, but I thought I'd reach out here for additional suggestions before I decide to buy anything. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks! ?

One interesting method I've heard of is using coyote urine to deter stray cats. It’s supposed to be a strong scent that cats don’t like, which might make them think twice about visiting your flower bed. Just a heads up, though—it can be a bit strong, so use it sparingly!
Instead of coyote urine, you might want to try something like citrus peels. Cats generally dislike the smell of citrus, so scattering some orange or lemon rinds in your flower bed could help keep them away. Plus, it's a lot less intense and works great as a natural deterrent!
