Although the directions say not to use used kitty litter for gardening
purposes, it seems like it would be beneficial to gain nutrients left by kitty
poop.

Is used kitty little really bad for plants?



I doubt that the cat droppings will injure the plants but the parasites
and pathogens in the cat scat may very well hurt you if not treated
correctly. The same is true with dog, pig and human scat. The only way I
can see using any of the above is to cook it to kill off the
parasites and pathogens before composting or right after composting. With
all the effort you would have to put into making the scat safe for
handling, just seem worth while to me.
