Cat litter sawdust, uses?

[janzbro]

I have a regular supply of sawdust cat litter (about 2 litter trays a week) and was wondering if it is ok to use in my veg beds (with the little presents removed of course).
Would it be better to put a layer in about a foot down then cover with soil or perhaps rotavate it in with the soil as there is quite a bit of clay.

Also have a bit of chicken poo (say 1 sack worth) off the girls, would it be worth tilling this in as well ?

I put sawdust and chicken poo direct on beds with no issues (one counteracts the other). However, most people would say no to putting sawdust on direct as it robs soil of nitrogen. There is a theory that it only effects the top few cms. so is fine for plants that have already been raised in the greenhouse etc. Neat chicken poo is rich and will burn plants. If you are concerned put it in a compost heap and let it rot down.

Remove the presents and put it on the compost heap, that's what I used to do with it.

That's what I do, it gets layered with garden and kitchen waste as I go, makes lovely stuff

it robs soil of nitrogen.

Only if it's buried, not if it's on top of soil as a mulch.
I compost dog poo at home, using the rather excellent end product on the flower beds. You could do the same with cat poop.
Imo it's madness to be encasing a natural organic material in plastic, trucking it miles to bury it in landfill where it won't rot or be useful
