Are you tired of watching your cat digging in the soil of your garden? Fortunately, there is a simple solution to discourage it that involves repurposing something you would normally throw away.
Insight Security explained that, after making your coffee, you can take the leftover coffee grounds to spread in your garden, helping to deter the presence of cats. “The strong smell of coffee may be enough to keep cats away from your garden,” they said.
“Simply take your fresh, moist coffee grounds and distribute them around the edges and plants where you want to discourage the attention of felines. Additionally, coffee grounds are completely biodegradable, so they will decompose and enrich your soil.”
According to a report on the website The Express, this is not the only function of coffee grounds in the garden. In addition to discouraging cats, the grounds can also repel pests, according to Steve Chilton, gardening expert and director of LeisureBench.
“More commonly, they are used as a natural method to get rid of slugs. Coffee grounds are known to repel slugs and snails due to their abrasive texture and smell,” he told the British portal.
