Tesco cat litter
It's been a few years since I bought some and now I need more but the packaging has all changed, so I'm not sure which bag to buy; if someone could please post a pic or link I'd be very grateful THX

Re: Tesco cat litter
I'll add this here since I didn't see it in any of the linked threads:
Hope they didn't change the packaging again ...Cheshire, UK
Re: Tesco cat litter
Ian, could you please comment on this stuff:
This is supposed turface. It looks and feels very similar to diatomaceous earth. How suitable is it for mesemb use? I found diatomaceous earth to be too free draining, or maybe I just did not add enough compost?

Re: Tesco cat litter
I now prefer the larger granules of Sanicat Pink Non-Clumping. I found the smaller granuled Tesco stuff made my compost too water retentive for mature plants but was OK for setting cuttings or rooting offsets.

Re: Tesco cat litter
I agree I also prefer the slightly larger particles in the Sanicat product
Also they often have offers on it and its in larger bags of 30ltrs so turns out a bit cheaper too

Re: Tesco cat litter
Just been to Pets at Home for more birdseed and while I was there noticed a bag of cat litter amongst some items on offer. I didn't look at the main display of cat litter so don't know if the clearance sticker means they will no longer stock this brand

Re: Tesco cat litter
I must admit I have changed my litter habits (???) like others in this thread. Am now using the Sanicat larger granule stuff in my potting mix. But the tesco finer grade is still top banana for rooting cuttings!

Re: Tesco cat litter
Tesco were supposed to be cutting 30% of its lines this year. I'm not sure if it's happened already and the litter's safe or if it's still at risk. Does anybody on the inside know?
