Hi all,
As you know I an doing some soil mix/component tests and so far so good.
A generic term like Kitty litter is inadequate as you need to know what it is made of.
Atapulgite, which is the Chandlers Kitty Litter and used by a few people, looks good for those in a dry environment as it stays wet; but may not be satisfactory for wet or cold climates;. So as always you need to vary your mix for your environment and climate.
