2
Fence off areas where cats like to dig. Use chicken wire or more attractive border fencing as barriers to curious pets. Or place rocks over the soil where cats have been exploring.

Plant pungent herbs to keep cats away. Rosemary, sage and other strong-smelling plants can act as deterrents. Coffee grounds scattered over the soil may also repel felines.
