Listened to a local radio gardening programme where they said that both garlic spray and the Coleus Canina plant were worth trying as a detterent. I would like to try to grow the Coleus from seed but finding it difficult to locate them for sale online - similaly there doesn't seem to be 'garlic spray' mentioned as a cat detterent online either. Any info for onlone companies selling either would be appreciated.

The coleus can only be grown from cuttings, its not true to type from seed. I wouldn't bother with it my customers said it didn't work for them.
Try Growing Success Cat Repellent, Its garlic granules that are fairly rain resistent. I've used these with success but I did have to keep applying it frequently.0
