Experimenting with making cat litter out of biodegradable newspaper. It was pretty easy. Found a large strainer out on trash day.
- Cut or shred recycled newspaper into ribbons.(above)
- Soak in water with a little biodegradable soap
- Strain and soak in plain water.
- Sprinkle with baking soda and squeeze out water.
Let air dry for several days. I'll report back on how it worked. :-D
Eventually, I'd like to compost with mycoremediation for non-crop plants.
Looking forward to your testing! Litter is expensive and newspaper is cheap (free!)
Yes, my partner is appalled by how much money we spend on it for it to go in the trash. Especially with neighbors struggling with food insecurity. So I'm getting creative!
