The Dollar Tree Stores up here don't carry DE cat litter. It must be a regional thing.
If it's the Moltan product, I know that works just fine since it is the same as the Ultrasorb, just a larger granule size. |
Ray,
Thanks for the info. Is there a PH reading on DE?
Actually I am testing turface MVP, and regular starting mix w/ broccoli, since red gave good reviews. 1 six pack each a few days ago, and I see them germinating already. More so in turface. Temps is about 80F during the day and low 70's at night. Watering methods are different, and seems to need more w/ turface.
