Awesome. How big is his garden? Since you supply the litter, do you get a cut of the bounty?
Sorry for the thread hijack, Anne.

The doggie poop bags can be found at Petco and PetsMart in the cleanup/stain removal section. There are lots of different brands. Not all are biodegradable.Originally Posted by kluchetta
I do like many here and scoop into Wal Mart/supermarket bags and deposit in the trash, although I hate doing that - there has to be a better way. I LIKE the biodegradable doggie bags - where do you get those and how big are they? (I have 5 cats, so a larger amount of waste than say, Jamie's mom - a sandwich bag would NEVER do, LOL!)
As far as I know, animal waste is actually one of the best natural fertilizers... It has been used FOREVER... It should be used in the soil though, and not touching the actual crop... The only thing is that cat poop smells too badOriginally Posted by FuzMugly
Hopefully not actually on/near the asparagus?!? I've always been under the impression that animal waste, even when composted, should only be used on non-edible crops. Can anyone else verify this?
I use a small bucket with lid and line it with a small plastic bag. Scoop/empty contents of litter box 2x daily into bucket. Once the plastic bag is filled I tie it off and off to the dumpster it goes. I've been contemplating digging a deep hole fairly small in diameter and simply depositing the waste daily, then covering with a small layer of dirt. Repeat until hole is refilled, dig new hole. Thoughts?
Yes, working on a new article -not sure if it's going to be for this month or next (somehow publishing an article about cat litter disposal doesn't seem right when it's the Holidays issueOriginally Posted by kluchetta
Anne, are you writing the article for TCS? I'm sure we'd love to read it.

That is exactly what I do.Originally Posted by Rosiemac
I use a very fine grain clumping litter. I scoup twice a day and put it in scented nappy (diaper) bags, then put them in my trash bin

Animal waste is a great fertilizer, but it depends on the type of animal. Waste from a carnivore she not be used near food crops. I wish I had a source on this, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. I know that it has to do with higher risk of parasites in feces from eating animal protein.Originally Posted by carolinalima

The only thing is that cat poop smells too bad!! Usually you would hear cows' and horses' waste used for that purpose.
