I was advised by a friend to sprinkle cayenne pepper around in places animals frequent to poop....it works. It kept the squirrels out of my vegetable garden. I guess the special place has to smell just right or they don’t want to use it.

True story; I work at a facility that used to have a dog yard in it. It was discontinued and we are using the area for a garden in which we grow for the food bank in our area. A building was on the site years ago and we are digging out bricks from the clay soil. I decided that our chances of growing anything was slim to none as the soil is literally clay with only a bit of loam. Well, the eggplant are almost two feet high, cucumbers by the boatload, squash are everywhere, tomatoes will number in the hundreds of bushels. WTF? Now we realize that years of dogs pooping everywhere must be the reason. Have no other explanation for the rapid growth of the veggies.

That reminds me of the joke about the software engineer.

His wife asked him, "Would you stop at the store and get a gallon of milk, and if they have eggs get a dozen?"

He came home with 12 gallons of milk.

lol

So the neighbours' dog can get over the fence ?

You better watch it or your wife may trade you in for someone that understands her, he, he.

LOL!

Oh, for Pete's sake; have you considered growing mint?
