Is is alright to dump the feline pine litter into/around plants and/or veggie garden???

I really need to know, because I found out that cat litter makes rabbits go away.

There are rabbits eating my veggie plants and soon to eat my veggies.

I thought I would recycle the litter around my veggie garden to keep the rabbits out.

Any advice???

Thanks!

Okay...I found the answer to my own question grin

The feline pine breaks down into saw dust, and from what I’ve read; the saw dust takes away nitrogen. 

Therefore, that is not good for any plants!!!

The sawdust does adsorb nitrogen, but with all the amonia in the litter this may not be a bad thing. Amonium Nitrate is high in urine and the sawdust may help it not “burn” the plants. I am trying it as a fertilizer supliment on a portion of my garden this year.

As for keeping the rabbits out, sprinkle some of the urine filled litter arount the out side of your garden. Its the smell that will keep the rabbits out

I appreciate the information!!!

I just dumped some urine/feline pine around some of the garden.  I will surround it eventually.

Thanks again!!!
