Experimenting with making cat litter out of biodegradable newspaper. It was pretty easy. Found a large strainer out on trash day.
- Cut or shred recycled newspaper into ribbons.(above)
- Soak in water with a little biodegradable soap
- Strain and soak in plain water.
- 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.
Oh that’s handy!
