An Open review of Feline Pine.

[JackTheGrower]

Hello.

I am using Feline pine cat litter as a micronized source of wood for my soil.


So far I expect it to be 100% wood ( pine )

That seems good: Let me explain.

I water with fish emultion and other organic fair. On top of my organic soil I sprinkle a thin sprinkle of feline pine.
The pellets fall apart as they soak up moisture.

This is to add some brown to the N and provide some added material to the soil.

My question is it good for an organic soil system like I have or is there a unknown to me problem with this product?

Sometimes when I buy Feline Pine® or All Pet® the color is different. Why?
Since Feline Pine®, Feline Pine Scoop® and All Pet® are organic products, and because every geographical terrain is different, where we acquire our raw material can effect the coloration of the final product. Other factors can include natural floods, fires, droughts, mineral presence in soil, and other traumas that may affect trees. Because of these natural occurrences and the fact that we do not add any chemicals to our sawdust, you can and will get a variety of pine colors. A common range can be anywhere between gray/white to a soft yellow.

Before my friend. Outta da bag.

I'm hoping to get an organic thumbs up or down on this product.

Yikes....have you already done this? I would hope that you have checked into it before adding it to your mix.

I'd be afraid of it being too acidic. It's not a food product, so I don't think the manufacturer is oblidged to disclose all the ingredients.

Good luck,
SH

You haven't added just defended yourself.

Yes i have done this. I am trusting the 100% pine.

I know how a pellet mill works so I believe it's possible to make these pellets without chems.

I have been a millwright in a mill.. I have put together a pellet mill and maintained a grinder or two.

Sincerely...



But that was a distant yesterday so I am asking the community to look at this product.

its suppose to be pure pine the heat and spinning of the wood pulp makes it bind to itself without a binding agent. I used to own a pet store and the reps swore on the stuff We used it in the bird enclosures in a pinch and parrots are very sensitive to chemicals and we never had a problem. I would say it should be fine

Thanks stealthballer.

I thought to put it out for a fair and open review.

Knowing it has been used with animals and humans with no problems is good to read.
