Default [IBC] sifting soil components

How about the Oil Dry they sell at Tractor Supply real cheap?


Oil Dri is made by the makers of Turface. I think its grain size
is a bit smaller than Turface, and it may not have been fired at
as high a temperature. I have never used it, but have been told
that its consistency may not be as reliable as Turface and it
may, at times, be mushy when constantly wetted.

It is, however, better than kitty litter.

There are other options: Terra-Green, Mule Mix, Schultz's Clay
Soil Conditioner (smaller particles, small package size and more
costly per pound), or even Haydite (which is fired shale).

All have web sites (see the FAQ article I sent you yesterday ;-)
