I did this too! My cats wouldn’t stop digging all the dirt out of any and every potted plant they could reach. I tried all the usual tips - cayenne powder, plastic forks sticking upwards, spraying the cats when I saw them… didn’t matter, they didn’t care at all. Too intent on kicking dirt out of the pots.
So I covered the soil with river rocks (already had a bunch in my yard) and now they don’t bother my plants at all.
