Question
Getting rid of pet urine, odors
Stray cats use my garden bed for their litter box. The cats are gone but not odor, how do I take care of soil to plant veggies/herbs?
Answer
First I would suggest heavily irrigating the area to leach the urine down and out of the garden bed, a couple of times wont hurt. Then I would work in some good compost and/or manure (store bought) into the existing garden soil. The living organisms in the organic matter you add will help break down and eliminate the odor causing compounds.
