Over the next few days I will post some photos of growing in Kitty Litter.

If you are going to try growing in kitty litter get the non clumping kind. Just regular kitty litter with no perfumes or deodorants. Buy a 20 pound bag of the cheapest cat litter you can find. I usually pay $2.50 or less per 20 lb bag.

The photos are coming but as I no longer grow in my house it will take some time. Logistically setting this up is tricky. Fortunately I have set up a few friends to grow for their own personal uses.

I know this is new to some of you but let me assure you it works better than you can imagine. I first learned of this a few years ago. I went to an horticulture show and was floored by a few people selling Peppers growing in small trash bags filled with kitty litter. It floored me.

At the time I was doing hydroponics and soil growing. The hydro growing was frustrating because of the need for daily maintenance. I felt like I was tied to my plants. It was not uncommon for me to have to leave my house for a few to several days. Things can go bad in hydro quick.

I was also growing in soil. I kept having pest problems and again I was still tied to the house for watering the plants.

After the show I switched from soil to kitty litter and have never gone back.

You can also use kitty litter for a passive wick hydro medium.

If you are worried about overwatering in kitty litter mix 50% sand and 50% kitty litter. The sand will give you more drainage until you learn how the litter holds water. After you learn about kitty litter growing you will want to use straight kitty litter and organic nutrients.

Yes there is a learning curve, but remember your plants will tell you when they are happy and when they need water. Just the same if they were in soil or hydro.

I will post a few photos latter on tonight.
