To be honest, even though I suggested the bamboo sticks, I have never
used them, although there are far greater hazards in my garden than
these. (I killed a venemous snake yesterday!)
I favour the chicken wire, and if it is a little on the loose side, the
kitties won't want to climb it. I use this theory to keep the foxes from
my hens.
Moth balls should NEVER be left where young children can get them, they
are extremely toxic.
Also anything placed between the plants (pots, cacti, etc.) makes it
very difficult to access them.
