Cat litter - is this a really stupid idea??

[stanausauruswrecks]

It's unused!!
I have bought a couple of those gro-sac thingies, where you fill 'em with compost and stick your plants in. Just read the instructions, and it says I need gravel for drainage.
I'm 36 weeks pregnant, and can't be arsed to go to the garden centre and start hoicking bags of gravel around - have found an unused bag of cat litter in the shed, do you think this would work just as well??
TIA!

Cat litter is absorbant...gravel is for drainage. Don't do it...the litter will just get soggy then vanish into pile of mush!
How about broken flower pots (even plastic ones) or bits of polysterene packing snapped into bits

yes stick in bits of old plant pot, smash up an old plate, polystyrene is v. good from boxes that you've bought something new in, look around garden for chunks of rock or a few stones...

Thanks for your advice! Cat litter will never go as mushy as my brain appears to have done Spent today smashing up some old flower pots, very therapeutic, and now have my little kitchen garden on the go - just have to remember to keep them watered now!
