Do marigolds and coffee grounds keep dogs away from the garden? And what else can I put down or do?
By Liz B from Mexico, ME
I like to put temporary chicken wire or a temporary fence around the garden with temporary green metal stakes. I can move these at will.
Do not use coffee grounds, they are fatally toxic to dogs
A method I came across to keep cats away is to sprinkle orange peels and coffee grounds in the garden. Cats apparently hate the smell of citrus. Other types of citrus peels will probable work too, and there are some citrus sprays on the market as well. Dont drink coffee? Stop by Starbucks* most branches give away free used coffee grounds for composting purposes, but they will work for this method as well.
The dog always walk over the plants and destroy them and lay over the hole area
Cinnamon keeps cats out of the garden not sure about dogs
This is a page about keeping dogs out of flowerbeds. It seems that despite having all of the rest of the yard to lie in, dogs love to snooze or dig in the flower garden.
