Experimenting with making cat litter out of biodegradable newspaper. It was pretty easy. Found a large strainer out on trash day.

  1. Cut or shred recycled newspaper into ribbons.(above)

  1. Soak in water with a little biodegradable soap

  1. Strain and soak in plain water.

  1. Sprinkle with baking soda and squeeze out water.

Let air dry for several days. I’ll report back on how it worked. :-D

Eventually, I’d like to compost with mycoremediation for non-crop plants.

    Are you likely to have enough newspapers to keep up with demand?

      Yes, pretty much everything is recycled / reused in the indigenous village that I live in. I bought a big roll of unsold old newspapers for less than $1 and used only a small part for the first batch. They sell them in most of the tiendas to wrap stuff up with. If I were still in the US, I would just go to a county recycle bin and get a big pile for free.
