clay/fullers earth/cat litter
hi ive just tried to order my usual koi clay from Nature's Grub and they seem to have given up on the koi side of things.
so had an hour reading up about clays and come up with the three above options.
what does everyone use or suggest.

I use cat litter, very cheap and exactly the same minerals, but you have the hassle of grinding it up. I use an old coffee grinder and just do a batch as and when I use it.

defo a big saving electric grinder from ebay less than £9 then five kilos of pettex cat litter (blue bag) from local pet store not the green one.
and away we go with the wizzer. store it an air tight tub and grind it as required.. reading sankey mankey website it's not 100% sure but possibly helps keeps blanket weed under control as well.as long as it doesn'tt grow who's bothered.

Quick question. Does the cat litter not destroy the grinder? Or does it break down easily?
