No, it won't. It's a mineral. Zeolite. Make sure you get the granular form, not the powder.
Sweet PDZ is the best for Cube litter tray. Works so well! I scoop mine into a bucket and when full, dump in my compost pile. I’m not sure Id want to add it *all* to the run, but if you have enough space, it might work. I just think it might add up pretty fast.
I think the bucket is a great idea!
I have a small coop and use sweet pdz as the flooring. I also scoop into a bucket for the compost pile. The run is deep liter with primarily wood chips from the township's free pile.
I feel the need to provide a public service announcement:
oh my gosh yes this. and make sure it has a lid. especially if it rains. or if you have dogs.This is also why you want to use a cat litter bucket with a flip lid that you can close when you store it in your coop. And look out Lucy when you open it to make additions!
both those lessons were learned the hard way. i found a plastic “commode pail” with a handle and lid on amzn that works perfect and so much cheaper than a metal pail. sometimes if i have some handy i will throw a scoop of soil on top of the poop to keep the stink down a little longer.Okay, filing this away under "important things to remember!" Thanks for the warning!I feel the need to provide a public service announcement:
When you dump that bucket, it will clear your sinuses and the sinuses of any neighbor within 50 feet. Just sayin'.
After a couple of days the stench fades. This is also why you want to use a cat litter bucket with a flip lid that you can close when you store it in your coop. And look out Lucy when you open it to make additions!
But when you layer that with fine sawdust or other dry carbon (which greatly helps knock down the stench factor) and let it cook for a year, does it ever do wonderful things for your veggie garden. My tomato plants literally grew taller than me and got so heavy they collapsed the heavy duty cages they were supported in.
