Thanks Anne and Susan. I'll probable go for sand but how to keep cats away is another problem
Hi Mark,
I live in a quite damp and cold area in germany. To keep the bulbs healthy I had to add lots of sand and gravel. This attracted all the cats what was very annoying. So I put some metal mesh what you use for rabbit cages outside over the galanthus. ...and on the rest I put some branches of bramble.
That worked. No nasty cats deposit in my new gravel bed so far.
Kind regards, Martina
