We were given 4 huge bags of this kitty litter saying there cats did not like it. so we accepted and they didn't mind it so much as we mixed it with tidy cat. Anyway it attracted (or breeded, or unleashed) bugs, roach like after they had used it.  So we have decided to try and do something with this. Was wondering if mixing in the garden soil would work or hinder?
https://tinyurl.com/34skhn36 . It is the worlds best..no?  Anyway we have a small neighborhood plot in a community garden where our neighbor told us someone had come in weeks ago (before got in in June) and bobcatted all of the top soil out and I believe them. For as I look back there were no weeds nothing. (too good to be true, looking back  I remembered Paul saying way back to look for what weeds were growing , lost mind when this clean slate was presented to me). Anyway I think this plot is 10'x25'. We have 3, 28 pound bags of this stuff available. The soil that was left us is mostly all clay under the 1" of mulch they left. So hard I had to use a post hold digger to get  anything in the ground. We did only use the top side on the super gentle slope and left the bottom half feral.   The litter claims to be nothing but corn, but I do know that in itself can be sketch... Thanks for reading !  All comments are invited. The kitty litter will be unused by cats just in its dry state.

I believe it is Passiflora caerulea.  To be honest I did not think it would do much of anything in this climate and we lost the tag and the place we bought it at has closed .
Its aroma is like honeysuckle and a grape cool aid packet combined.  
I never realized how many varieties there are! https://tinyurl.com/y3efaxfn

Well i started this Passionflower from a stalk 2 years ago in the spring (possibly 12 inches tall).  At the end of the summer we got 3 flowers for the year. Without any help from me it wintered over fine and continued to grow and this summer it has gone bonkers. There must have been 20-30 flowers already and its climbing ability has been tremendous (vertically and horizontally). I am hoping for some fruit at some point.

This is a real hand of Gin and Art Ludwig was the clincher.

Chiming in late in know.... if you need to build  a greenhouse or need windows for anything check the dumpsters behind these replacement glass businesses.
All kinds of frames, hardware, good non thermal glass and so on.

I was not sure where to post this since it is not Permaculture farming but it does in a way deal with farming on many levels.
