Either you remove it or you don't. Removal usually involves a shovel, then replacing with a bagged garden soil. But unless the soil has become too acidic for the flowers you don't really have to remove it. Don't plant any edible crops. -

You obviously have never had pets. I have a long handled poop scoop. A rake and a dust pan will work too. Or just put on surgical gloves and pick it up. With 6 dogs, 6 cats, I pick up poop every single day. Nothing to be afraid of. If you are pregnant, get someone to do it for you.- See 1 previous

A few people I know have had success with putting plastic forks (tines up) in the ground where they didn't want the cats to go. Just get in there with a rake and/or shovel and remove the poop. -

If you want to get it all, use a piece of hardware cloth and make a soil sifter. See the instructions: http://www.thesoilsifter.com/howtobuild.htm -
