Suzanne Mace put me on to Euro car parts All Purpose Absorbent Granules as a replacement for Tesco cat litter.
Looks exactly the same to me - £6.99 for 20 ltrs .About the same per ltr as cat litter. Great for seed raising.

Re: Tesco Cat Litter
Sorry if I'm missing an obvious point, but is there a problem with the cat litter, or is it discontinued or something? Just wondering why we need a replacement.
First it was orchids, then, since c.2001, cacti and succulents. I'm into South African plants, mainly conos, lithops and haworthias, with a few cacti, especially 'posh' mamms, turbs and other smalls. Now it’s stapeliads as well...

Re: Tesco Cat Litter
Tesco cat litter is not available any more .Tesco said it had been discontinued ,maybe it's still on the shelves where you are. Forgot to mention I don't use it neat .For seed raising and small plants I use third a John Innes, a third coarse grit approx 5mm and a third Tesco cat litter or now Euro Car Parts Absorbent Granules. If you want to buy you have to go to nearest Euro Car Parts Supplier. I think it is a lot more expensive on line.

Re: Tesco Cat Litter
There was a separate thread a few months ago about Tesco cat litter no longer being available. This replacement seems like good news so thanks for posting.

Re: Tesco Cat Litter
Good to know there's a source. Even better that it's somewhere I already shop

Re: Tesco Cat Litter
Yes, I'm seeing £12.49 for 20L and that's supposedly on offer, reduced from £15.84 (although that's a suspiciously odd price). If that's truly the price, then the Seton's stuff, £15 for 30L, would be better value.
