The info received from Christianne:-

Yes, Tom Poes is a well known make in the Netherlands, but YOU DO HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL OF WHICH SORT THAT YOU CHOOSE FOR USE AS A BONSAI MEDIUM.

Some of these cat litters are really for 'lazy cat owners', ie when the cat urinates on the cat litter pieces it is inclined to go into a rather large hard lump, then the cat owner needs only to remove this piece instead of all the cat litter in the tray, this type would of course be no good for a bonsai medium.

Christianne uses one by the name of Fresh and Clean, super absorbent and clay granule. Her advice is "read the instructions on the pack before purchasing"

I've now had a confirmation from a friend in Amsterdam. It is exactly the same as Sophisticat pink under another name so that wiill not be the clumping variety. Its made from baked moler clay and will be a good potting medium.

My name is Don and I'm a bonsaiholic. スタイミー
My imaginary friend Givitago takes over when I'm not sure of myself in print. He's not a complete fool - several bits are missing.

Jolly good Don,

Moler Clay, those two words bring back memories. Many moons ago I was a secretary in a Shipping Agency in Colchester and every week we imported thousands of tons of Moler Clay from Denmark.

It really does depend on what you think about this matter actually. If you want to throw it away, I won’t cost you much at all to buy new soil, just make sure that you manage the waste properly. Second of all, if you would like to use the soil again, all you have to do is sieve the soil, loses it up and remove things that are found in the soil. Then all you need to do is add some nutrients back to the soil, like cow dung, etc. and it can be used again.
