She puts kitty litter in her potted plants? Yowza! I hope not in
containers that have plants with edible parts.

My friend Bente who is sharing my garden loves to dig kitchen scraps right into her garden. Well, okay, the microherd will get at them sooner or later. I wouldn't do it.
The funny thing though is that she asked me if it wouldn't be okay to put them into her outdoor plant containers on top of kitty litter and under "plant soil" which she has bought. I told her that the plant soil was most likely spaghnum which is sterile and that there would be no microherd to eat the kitchen scraps, so they would rot and smell. She gave up the idea - thank God!
She is forgiven for having such strange ideas - on Greenland they cannot have any gardens at all outdoors, though lots of people grow tomatoes indoors. She lacks the childhood experiences people of my generation (Victory gardens, etc.) have.

And around here kitty litter has lots of additives like deodorizers, scents,
baking soda, nothing I'd put in my plants. You can get plain clay, I guess,
but it's a lousy litter.

Clean kitty litter, you fool! She doesn't have a cat, but buys it for house and container plants. It is also made of volcanic materials.
