    Found this 'tip' on the internet.

    Use plastic forks to stop cats (Alfie!! :cat-kittyandsmiley:) from digging up your newly planted plugs.

    Place the forks, tines up, in the soil next to your plugs. Once the plants have established they will hide the forks - or you can simply take the forks out.

    Would recommend buying black plastic forks is possible - the white ones I used this morning stick out like a sore thumb.:doh:

      Interesting tip :blue thumb:
      I already use some pieces of plastic cutlery as plant labels ... might be why I've not had cats digging up my seedlings :heehee:
