Hi there,

I put down weed suppressant membrane over a wide area of lawn, built raised beds and then in filled the pathways between with bark.  Unfortunately, the cats have taken to relieving themselves on the bark, so I need to remove all the bark and think again.

I can't just leave the weed membrane showing as it look pants, but cannot think what else I can put on top of it that the  cats won't 'use'. I have perhaps taken the quick option and not levelled the ground as best I could (the garden is sloped on the diagonal) but I don't want to take up the membrane particularly.  Large stone gravel or some sort of plastic pathways, like they use for driveways, may be the options but any other ideas gratefully received...

Ruddy cats, I hate them wish they'd go in other people's garden's who don't grow veg...grr..

I used a finer pea gravel in my pathway and none of the animals uses it as a loo.

In the UK you can also get a part soil/part gravel that's called hoggin that's often used for pathways. It's not at all attractive to animals.
