Kitty Litter Question
"KCnRichmond" wrote in message ... Thanks for your reply. I was in Wal-Mart today and bought a 25 pound bag of "Special Kitty" cat litter. It is "no scent" and made from 100% ground clay. I think that this is what I'm looking for and it shouldn't require rinsing (?). It was only $1.97 for 25 pounds whereas the Schultz Aquatic Soil that I've been buying from Loew's is $6.93 for 10 pounds. Quite a difference in price if it works. Has anyone else tried this particular cat litter before and had any problems with it? Thanks! Food Lion used to have "Black Kat" unscented, non-clumping, $1.87 for 20#... I think the water garden industry got in on it, cause they stopped selling it...lol. Best stuff I ever used with small rock on top like k30p said....Mostly I use this for lilies..I put marginals in just plain pea gravel...When planting Hostas, Daylilies, Silver Liriope, Phlox,and whatever else I want on my plant shelf, I put the deco rock on top of the soil, right in the landscape pot it comes in and soak it good, then submerge in the pond about 1/2" over the top of the pot...Those type of plantings work great until everything else starts getting established, getting a jump on the ol' pea soup. What the heck, its a garden right? The fish love to, uh, "play tag" up in the foliage... I tried the Special Kitty cat litter last night on a re-potting of some Pickerel Rush. I'm impressed so far. It worked very good. I'm just waiting on some water hyacinths and water lettuce to come in at Home Depot or Lowe's. Other than that, I have more than enough potted plants from last year. They just keep multiplying and I keep re-potting. My water is still clear... knock on wood. Good luck! |
