Could used Cat litter be reused in any way around the yard or flower beds?

I use it around my lilac's all the time (after I clean out the chunks that is). The lilac's love the acidity of it and there is no smell.

clumping cat litter turns to clay. Maybe if it was composted in a nice hot compost pile which would sterilize and digest it, it would be OK mixed with green waste as a soil builder. A great source of nitrogen.





Or maybe you could keep the clumps but throw out the feces.





I'm shootin' from the hip here. But there are some cat diseases which you have to watch out for, especially if they get into the runoff to the sea- lethal for sea lions.
Reply:if you wanted to, but it would probably give off the used odor for a while.
Reply:It can be used, but it's definitely not recommended. Used cat litter is not healthy for people.
Reply:I agree with Hal H, cat litter is made up of clay particles, and will compact the soil if you put it in your garden. I don't recommend it.
Reply:if the litter is a good one and clumps the droppings, it can be used to soak up spills on concrete. just put a good amount of litter over a fluid leak from your car and scuff it in with your feet. let it set for a few minutes and then sweep it up. works best if the spill is new.
