Dump ammonia around the outer circumference. They hate the smell, as do other animals.

Reply:My mother used to use rose cane (the stems of roses with thorns still on them!). The cats won't step in the garden then because they'll get their paws poked. They also won't lay down on the flowers either.





The people that said snail bait and ammonia are crazy. Snail bait is poison (and should be avoided - use diatomacious earth to control snails!)and ammonia will kill your plants and is bad for the soil.
