I place them around the edges not next to the veges. You don't need heaps of. Depnding on the size of the garden. I put one at each corner, if it's bigger I put an exta moth ball in the middle. My cats don't touch the veg patch at all.
Are they your cats or neighbours cats?

The moth balls did work with them.

Getting a dog has appeared to stop other cats coming in our garden, but only when he's out there. We have our own cats as well and I've never had a problem with them going in our own veg patch and they won't go into the neighbours as their dog is always out, but can't speak for the otherside...
A water pistol is a good deterrent - but you'd have to be there to squirt them (unless it's a cat that likes that sort of thing, one of my mum's thought it was a game
)
Chilli powder might work, but one of mine (the daft one) ate a chlili
He must have gobbled it as surely it wouldn't have gone into his stomach had he actually tasted it (it's the same cat that tries to eat brillo pads - we do feed him, honest!) He very swiftly started howling and sicked up half a chilli - stupid animal - you'd think you could leave stuff like that on the side and they wouldn't eat it, but I reckon he was trampled in the rush for feline brain cells...
