Composting wood pellet cat litter

Davesnave

An interesting assertion there from the appropriately named djohn, but I too have gardened for many years and frequently pee in my compost bins.

That's when I'm not peeing to deter the local foxes, or just peeing 'cos it's damn cold and I've been caught short 200m from the house!

I use sawdust for cat litter & compost, but this bin is for shubbery/flower bed.

I have in the past had a dry toilet & composted with humanure & grown massive veggies! But I did use two toilets - one for P the t'other for S. Quite a knack! But I did leave the S compost for over a year & it makes marvellous crumbly compost - so that's my secret out.

Why do you have to use different ones? Tbh, that's the first thing that's put me off the idea.:o

Different bins?

Different P & S buckets?

The cat litter tray is recent since ancient cat struggled to get outside. Use sawdust coz it absorbs & is to hand & is free & is green! Well natural.

In the past when we had a dry toilet - two bucket affair; you should keep the waste seperate as it doesn't aid it breaking down mixing the two. Funnily enough we used sawdust on the 's' bucket & it absorbs smell - although I did empty it into a corrugated iron bin thingy to compost down daily - or every couple of days, but didn't really need to.
The 'p' bucket I used on a chicken wire bin that I'd filled with birch leaves as it breaks them down into wonderful leaf mould really fast.
Just a wee routine I had.:rotfl:
