I have five cats, so I go through a lot of cat litter. I began getting the 28 pound buckets when I realized the uses they had. (There's no way I can lift a 40 pound bucket.) Two of them are now housing tomatoes, and one is home to a bell pepper. What I'd love to do is turn them into self-watering containers, but the reservoir thingies I see for sale are for round pots, not for square ones. I have a massively huge tomato plant in a self-watering "square foot success kit" that I got from Gardener's Supply. Be nice to make a homemade one.

Thank you all! You're the best! Thought I'd share one more picture as I really like how it looks in my kitchen window...Mom? Mom who? Just kidding...I'll try not to forget to pack it when I go, LOL!

Sorry it's been quite the drama here! AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they did the living room first, with the Restrained Gold, and I HATED it. It looked bright yellow and I was freaking out. I let them finish it though, thinking maybe it would darken and grow on me... I am still waiting for that to happen LOL. I think b/c it's such a large room with tall ceilings and tons of wall space, the mustard is really overpowering. I'll post some pics in a sec. So then the painter says, well if you don't like this, you will not like the Blonde you picked for the entry, b/c that's even brighter yellow. So now I was stuck...all my painstaking paint-color-choosing was for naught! He said I had to pick another color right then and there or they were going to leave. I was so stressed out!! NOTHING was going right. I was almost in tears LOL. My husband has been out of town for weeks so I'm doing this all on my own, and my toddler was being a royal pain and it was just a stressful day. So I just asked him what color he would suggest, to go well with the RG, but not too much yellow. HE said Latte is very popular, and I had the swatch for it here, and though it looked very blah, I just said OK and trusted him. So then they paint Latte in the entry...and I don't like it either. LOL! It's just blah brown. A nice color if that's what you're going for, but I don't want blah brown to be the first thing you see when you walk into my house, KWIM? Sooooooo, I made them stop halfway through that area LOL! So now I have a bright yellow living room, a half-painted brown entryway, and nothing else....because I couldn't choose a kitchen color for the life of me. It gets worse and worse LOL!.... So the chair rail guy never showed up so the painter had to call another one. He finally comes today...and doesn't have enough material to do either of the rooms, so then he leaves to go hunt down some more chair rail and never returns. So the dining room hasn't been painted at all, nor the art niche, nor the kitchen b/c I couldn't decide on a color, and I wanted to wait to see how the DR and LR looked first b/c those influence the kitchen color. SO there you go! Sorry if this doesn't make sense LOL. I had to drink 2 glasses of wine last night just to calm myself down. WHY oh WHY is nothing working out the way I planned????? Oh but one thing did go well. They stripped and restained my stair banisters this beautiful cherry color (they were light oak before) and they look great! Of course, there was a snag with that too... I happened to come out and look just as they were applying the stain, after hours of stripping and sanding, and it was the wrong color! Thank God I happened to come out at that point. So then we had to go to SW and get a new stain right away; he let me pick it out. And thankfully it looks great. Is that enough update for you LOL? I'm going to post pics and see what y'all think of the new paint... Sorry to ramble on; I'm exhausted and very stressed out!!!!!!! How are you LOL? You did RG too right? How did it turn out??? I've been thinking about you!!!

As the owner of two cats, both prolific pee-ers (can't figure out correct spelling or perhaps not a real word), I was thrilled to discover Sustainably Yours Cat Litter with odor control. I used to use WBCL, but once I tried Sustainably Yours I switched and never looked back. It is more expensive per bag, but it goes so much further because it clumps so much "tighter". I know some people complain of their cats' tracking the litter away from the litter box and I had that problem too, but I just got extra large litter mats to put under my boxes and have found that, by the time my cats reach the end of the mats, the litter has mostly fallen off their paws. As an added bonus for all decor obsessed cat owners, the Sustainably Yours which is crystal white, is actually quite pretty in it's unsoiled state! BTW: I do find the "plus" formula much more satisfactory at odor control than the original formula.
