Default Grass cuttings: leave or gather?

Cat litter in the compost....?!
Is that with cat poo in it, or fresh from the bag?


Jez,

Sawdust / wood based cat litter that has been used by you cat, but minus
any poop, can be used in the compost heap, especially to mix in with sappy
green material (i.e. grass cuttings). The cat urine will help, acting as
an activator.

Bob Flowerdew recommends cat poop is safely buried in the garden under
shrubs and such like - NOT in the vegetable garden.

Women planning on being pregnant / who are pregnant, should of course take
extra care.

Cat litter fresh from the bag would also work - but be an expensive
wasteful way of doing things....
