Don't confuse the newer scoopable litter with older clay litter. Clay
litter, which IS similar to OilDry, does not clump into big lumps. It
remains as discrete bits even when saturated.

John;

I think "Oil Dry" is nothing more than glorified kitty litter !!
If you've ever emptied a litter box, I don't think these hard clay
clumps would look good in your bonsai pots.
As soon as moisture hits it, it turns into a solid clump of clay !!

My neighbor built a slab for an outbuilding and offered me the

of builder's sand he had had dumped in his driveway. I've gone thru
probably
10 5-gallon buckets. Similar ratio of 1:4. Been using ALL that
leftover fines to level the yard. To me the biggest issue is the
amount of work,
time
and sore arms to get just a gallon of usable sand.

That's basically the issue. I'm really bumming because a product I've

had
really
good luck with has changed. I can't think of the brand name, but it's

a
2-part
bedding for patios--larger (1") chunks of crushed stone, and a finer
stone. The
finer stone, once sifted, yielded about 50/50 usable stone. The
pieces
were about
1/8-1/4" and pointed. Nice medium gray color. Now the finer grade is
just garbage
in a bag of silt. :-(
