Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: Toss lemon peels in the garden to keep cats from using your soil as a litter box.
“Citrus scents make cats cower and sneeze, so toss a few lemon or orange peels in the garden and your cat problem will be solved. The peels are not harmful to other plants in the garden and are completely biodegradable so you can put them in the garden and forget about them.
Aphids are also repelled by citrus. Mix the grated rind from a lemon with water and spray it on any plants that aren’t being attacked by the little bugs”
