I just did a search for "Bentonite" in Australia, and apparently it is used to
make kitty litter.That's a cheap way of getting it - I will have to have a look
at the kitty litter bags and see if they say what they are made out of.
Apparently look for "clumping" litters - bad for cats if they eat it, but good
to tip into the ground :-)
