Using friendship-based community organizing and principles of permaculture, gift economy, and mutual aid, Food Not Lawns has been turning yards into gardens and neighborhoods into communities since 1999, when we were conceived by the Food Not Bombs family in Eugene, Oregon. For more than twenty years small, self-organized groups of grassroots gardeners have been organizing local seed swaps, joining together for garden work parties, and making lots of friends while learning more about the simple act of growing food can radically improve your home, your community, and your life.

I grew vegetables in my backyard last summer. But the neighbors here really like to keep their cats outside and they shit and piss in my yard. Including in my vegetable garden.

We also had these 2 birds make a nest above our backdoor. Then they had babies and after 2 days, the nest was empty and blood was everywhere.

If anybody has ideas, please tell me because i don't know what to do anymore.

There is so... many... cats... and people in my neighborhood are very shitty people. So asking them kindly to keep their shitty cats inside is a no no.

I have tried putting spikes on my fence but they don't give a shit. They still climb over it.
