and I want to get them cleaned and put some foliage and flowers in them. They have been empty since I moved here 3 years ago.
I love my cat, but she is going to have to use a litter box. I can put chicken wire and wood chips to deter her, but what can I do to "sterilize" and prep the ground?
Thanks for your help!

Water it down and water and water and water. Add moth balls to the top soil to keep the cat out.

We had way too many cats prowling in our neighborhood a few years ago. I could not stand the idea of them doing their business in my flower beds so I took charge. I poured bleach all over the beds. I didn’t remove the flowers because they seemed contaminated. The bleach, of course, killed everything. I have a lot of terra cotta pots so I bought some nice fresh soil, filled the pots, and bought some new blooms. The cats stay clear of my yard. My cat uses a litterbox filled with First Step. It’s cleaned daily or more. We’ve tried many types but that one seems the best. Good Luck.
The pet store has products to deter cats but I preferred the Terra Cota.

I don't have much left in the yard; 7 rose bushes and one green thing, plus a pomegranate tree that will have its last crop in the fall. I want to put a lot of ferns and shade things along the north wall between the master bedroom and garage. Not sure what to do with the "yard", but my sister says "tropical".
This morning, I pulled out some weeds near the back fence and a huge army of little, red, BITING ants came pouring out. I poured what was left of the bleach right on the hole, and am hopeful they are all in ant heaven.
