Haha.. make the counter top a few cm lower so he can't lean Share more pics! In the end my contractor suggested using a wall mount basin and to attach the countertop below it so it won't be stressed by the weight of the basin. Which I think is quite ingenious! Hmm regardless of the height of the countertop or sink I'm sure my husband will still find a way to lean on it hahaha. Your greens are looking great! Love love how they pair up so well with your flooring and furniture. How'd you find the maintenance of the plants? And is the large branch against the wall real/alive?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danmify 16 Report post Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Kingandbin, that's great! Look forward to your posts! The maintenance is challenging. My cats seem to like to chew on the plants to simulate fur ball spitting. I'm growing some wheat grass on the side for them. Hopefully they won't "bully" the plants later. Also got the cat plastic spikes from Daiso as well to prevent them from stepping on the soil. Not a living branch anymore. got it from taobao.

stray 12 Report post Posted August 22, 2016 @Danmify If you put something a little bit citrusy around the plants you want to keep your cats away from, it may dissuade them furries from that area and maybe steer them towards the wheat grass so they leave the mini garden alone? Also they apparently love lemon grass too! Maybe have a little cat grassy corner with different plants they like just for them to destroy, heh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stray 12 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 @Danmify You guys created a wonderful cat sanctuary - especially love the ledges for these "tree-dwellers" to perch high and kaypoh to their hearts' content (caveat: i watch too much Cat Daddy)! Super nice! Keep us updated on your garden I love greens and planning to get kitties in the future! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danmify 16 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 The orange peels are too weak a defence for those Lil monseurs! And the wheat grass didn't germinate. Got to go get new ones. So far, half a plant RIP le. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stray 12 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) HAHAH, OMG sorry i just imagined them jumping in defiance all around the orange peels, couldn't care less. Is the plant that RIP on those stilts? Maybe they have made it a personal challenge to destroy those plants. Your cats might be an anomaly leh. Try vinegar, sticky tape, or pepper?! #hardtooutsmartcats Edited August 26, 2016 by stray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danmify 16 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Haha.. it's one of the floor plants. They are attracted to the string-like leaves so the plant at the centre is left intact. So far, they haven't consider to conquer stage 2 yet Shall try the orange peels again after my wheatgrass grows out.

stray 12 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 haha, i can imagine the appeal of those stringy bits for your cats, they can't help themselves! My bf also says if you've any loose cables hanging around, they will also be all over them! #cantfightcatinstincts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
