Default used kitty litter & gardening?

I agree it is better to recycle or compost it in some way rather than
sending one or two cubic feet of it to the landfill each week.

Here's a link for what to do with cat feces and why:

And elsewhere on the site they give instructions for building a 'soil
ingestor' which is how they suggest you compost dog or cat feces. I can't
imagine scooping it out after it fills up in a couple years and using it ON
any plants personally, but I'm considering digging in an old trash can at
the back corner for this purpose. With an open bottom, it would leach into
the lower soil levels and I imagine a tree or bush or two that likes those
'ingredients' would find them and use them...

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?
