Cat Droppings In Garden - Supplementary

[RocW]

Many thanks to everyone who replied to my earlier question. I have put mesh down on the raised beds and it seems to have done the trick. However, when I want to grow plants in the raised beds the mesh will be in the way, so I have taken advice and bought some "Silent Roar" (essence of lion poo). It seems to be good at keeping cats and foxes away but I am worried that it might deter hedgehogs as well. We have nightly visits from hedgehogs and at the moment we have one hibernating in its own hut which we bought a couple of years ago. Does anyone have knowledge of its hedgehog deterring properties? I also bought a product called "Shell on Earth (crushed mussel shells) which is meant as a slug deterrent but I am hoping might be uncomfortable for cats as well. I'm thinking that I can put that round the plants if I can't use the lion poo. Thanks in advance.

Can you not leave mesh in place and let the plant stems go through it. You could cut a hole in mesh with a Stanley knife, then fold it back once you've got plant planted and repair mesh with some small cable ties?
