I have 3 cats who seem to think my garden is a litter box smh. I use straw as mulch and it deters but doesn’t prevent 100%. I don’t think it’s toxic because I’ve eaten sweet potato greens from the patch they seem to favorite and I seem ok lol
Also I used to see and hear mice or rats until they came to live here. The last time I saw a mouse or snake, they were being bodied by the cats! Good trade off lol
Keep in mind those virus go throgh a ciclo...if they are infected it mau takes years before you have any simptoms...keep in mind even Schizophrenia can be caused by cats parasites
My cat has been pooping in my raised beds and I am very discouraged to grow food in there now because he has killed some rodents and I don't want him to transmit diseases. I am thinking about taking the top few inches of the soil out, composting it, and then I would also probably do a water/hydrogen peroxide treatment on my raised beds. Would you still recommend using raised beds after cats use them as litter boxes?
If its your cat maybe you can try to train it to poo in the toilet. No joke! My aunt trained her cat to poo in the toilet and now that cat is very protective about that toilet. She hates when anyone uses it. She even tries to flush!
As for peroxide... I read that even bleach do not kill toxoplasmosis... Only boiling can. Maybe do soil solarization? But even then it doesnt get hotter than 60 C. Tough one. Maybe replace the soil?
I watched a program on agriculture in Israel and they were using barn owls. This year I'm building barn owl boxes for my N. Idaho U.S. organic property as husband doesn't want cats and I don't want rodents. I'll let you guys know if it works.
Our cats kill baby snakes definitely keep the population down. We saw a big difference after a year. Also they rarely kill birds, 4 cats in 7 years only 2 birds. But lizards and snakes - done.
yeah cats don't kill anywhere near the amount of birds I've seen reported, killing birds and squirrels is a something not all cats can do and usually they gotta be feral cats that were taught it by their mothers, and if you have a white cat then it's at best maybe killing a dove or something big and slow because animals will spot it a mile a way, cats will massacre everything else though, they're born killing machines, designed perfectly by evolution to kill and they love to do it, all cats can kill birds but they gotta get their claws onto it, and you know when they get one because there will be feathers
Any rodents, birds or snakes either just killed by my cats or left halfeaten i throw on my compost pile. If you get it properly hot i dont think anythinh harmful survives. I allways put em in the middle of my pile were it gets the hottest.
I had a Jack Russell that kept my gardens clean of rodents, rabbits, etc until she died. She killed cats, though... After she died, I had terrible experiences with 'vermin' destroying my garden until we got a cat. Now, they keep the root crops safe!
I have 9 cats. They poop everywhere in my garden. They are semi feral, they ask for food but they won't to be touched. I want to know if some edible crops are save to eat and which don't. Thank you and see you later
@@DiscoverPermaculture The neighbour cat tends to drop on the raised compost beds of my kitchen garden, what about there? There's no way it could get 60c once in the bed, and I could be growing root crops for example, how long is dangerous?. Thanks in advance.
@@DiscoverPermaculture But the cat will poop in raise gardens..since it is easier for them to dig and bury the poo How are you going to control where it poops?
Cats are trainable and are great for reducing rodent populations. One year my pea and bean seeds pretty much got cleaned out by chipmunks mostly. The cats that are around have kept the chipmunks clean out of the yard, unless there are other factors. Great year for peas and beans too. :)
Thank you for sharing this! I have been searching all over the place for this info! I knew there had to be someone out there who would have a differing opinion to cara in the garden 😎 thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
I'm in America and I have an abundance I mean probably 40 feral cats that walk through my property and piss everywhere to the point where it wakes me up in the middle of the night you telling me 2 1/2 times to nitrogen of any other creature on this planet and tocsin whatever is good for your vegetable garden??? Why does everybody think that this is a good thing??
On top of that they kill the natural wild birds they don't take care of the gophers like you would think they could I still see mice and they kill my own chickens. And they don't eat them for food!!! I have two house cats and that's where they should be!!! They have their shots they're neutered and they're fat and healthy and happy.
My town has feral stray cat issue they dont solve. Multiple cats 6+ are visiting my backyard n front yard. I still have MICE!!!! According to scientific research cats mice myth is just a myth not supported by a true research. I can see why.
i agree, they poo all over my yard and in my garden beds, on the grass on the gravel, on the patio, everywhere. I dont know wat to do. I got small kids i grow food, trying to. Its very upsetting. Cat owners are to blame
Exactly right. Cats around the garden are much less trouble than an army of rats, rabbits, and squirrels that will have a feast.
Introducing non venomous local snakes that eat rats and venomous snakes would also greatly help.
porcupines also do the job
What species does this?
How to do this? Seems interesting!

There are training toilet seats for this. Maybe get it.

Gotta ask, what do farmers do with the carcasses of dead animals and rodents?
probably compost or sell it to make blood and bones

@@mikaellindqvist5599 thank you so much for responding. I love to learn. 🙏🏻
In rural farm areas, ranchers drag their dead cattle to the back of their property with their tractor and let the natural decay process happen.
Thanks for helping me being less worried about this issue.
Thanks man another one awnsered befor i even asked ....love to you and y loved ones

But what about toxoplasmosis?....you said nothing!
Hot compost over 60 c will kill it off.
@@DiscoverPermaculture How about Toxocara cati - the eggs - associated with cat faeces - are very sticky and virtually indestructible.

@@thenextpoetician6328 This is great. Just click and give treats?

i got 24 CATS AND NOT A SINGLE MOUSE . I also feed porcupines that dine on my snakes
