Default Cat Litter (can it be used on my flower beds)

To be honest my cat does its business in the garden anyway so any type of
nasties will be in soil already.
Or is this just a really bad idea and should be forgotten about.


I'd suggest chucking the solid bits down the loo and putting the rest on
the compost heap. I think it could do with a bit of mellowing before
it's put round plants, just as you'd do with horse manure.


The soiled bits are not solid - they powder after getting wet.


Sorry - I was using solid as a euphemism for faeces.
I wouldn't advise chucking large amounts of cat litter down the loo.

I have
two rescue cats, who are staying indoors after having had a bad life
until now. We have been putting the powdery litter in the compost bin
with some success. It breaks down very easily, with very little smell.
Beats the grey stuff no end
