I have a question. My cat is allowed on my patio and occasionally he uses the dirt for his litter box. I grow flowers and have an herb garden there too. Is there anything I can mix into the dirt to detract him from going to the bathroom there? Anything growing where he does this eventually dies. I want to let him go outside because he cries and whines to go outside but I don't want him to ruin my garden. Any suggestions that I might use? Thanks for your help.

Regarding the flower box using kitty cat. Try sticking some (many) tooth
picks straight down into the dirt, This has worked on two cats for me
