I cannot believe that I have never disclosed here that I also throw all my used clay litter into a huge mound in my yard (close to the compost pile).

After a period of time it decomposes to look dirt-like. Not for use with food but excellent to use for non-food plants, e.g., flowers, bushes.

I wish I could do that. I don’t think mine is clay, though. i’ll have to check. After trying all kinds of products, I settled on ‘World’s Best’ brand.

I used to buy the least expensive I could find at Stop & Shop. Then I read an online recommendation for this and have been using it since even though it is much more expensive. Three times as much?

Having 69,000 Amazon ratings is a great recommendation!

I never detect any smells from it and it clumps excellently.

Here is what it is made of: 100% bentonite clay.

What are y'all growing? I just got a Smith fig tree that I am itching to plant. Just a few more days...

I am almost strictly vegetables. And, where I live ... nothing gets planted before early March.

I live in FL and grow year-round on my 1 acre homestead. Tomatoes, melons, lettuce, beans, broccoli, sunflowers, tobacco, peanuts. Plus I have a small orchard fruit trees: peach, fig, alvacado, citrus, plums, ect. Gardening is a great hobby. I also have 6 chickens. I eat 3 fresh eggs every morning for breakfast.

Nice! Never knew people grew any tobacco in their gardens.

Yup, tobacco is easy to grow, here's some of mine from last year.

I've been growing tomatoes, strawberries, cannabis, kale, and bush beans. I have a few apple and peach trees going too; they are more of a long term project. For the past two years, we only harvested a single apple but we enjoyed it as a family.

That is quite the spread, congratulations! How do the figs hold up in your humidity?
