[IBC] sifting soil components
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.

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 !!

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. John Austin, TX 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. :-( Craig Cowing NY Zone 5b/6a ************************************************** ********************** **** **** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ********************** **** **** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- -- +++++ Questions?
