In German, automatic litter box is not a common thing to see. However, many cat lover from German still looking for a better way dealing with boring task of cleaning litter box everyday. Unlike in USA, there are very few information about automatic litter box review site in German language. I came across one of German cat lover forum, and what they are talking now is still about LitterMaid.

In the past, Littermaid self cleaning litter box was a trusted and well known brand for cat lover, but they product quality is decreasing. Current Littermaid product is very unreliable, you can check at amazon.com and learn why so many user are complaining. According to my opinion, current top 5 automatic litter box is Litter Robot, CatGenie, Scoopfree, Petsafe Simply Clean Continuous and SmartScoop.

Litter Robot is the most expensive, but it is the most easiest to use and have very large waste vessel; Catgenie offer a sanitary solution, it flush cat waste just like a toilet; Scoopfree is the best at odor control; while Petsafe is probably the most affordable automatic litter box; SmartScoop is targeted for owner who has large cats. Instead of choosing LitterMaid, think again and read user review on many large retailer site about what is the best self cleaning litter box according to their opinion.

Because of the lower wages paid we are seeing more and more greenhouses being made and imported from Asia.

The best way to plant up hanging baskets is to do them in your greenhouses.  First get your basket or pot or whatever you are using and put in on a firm flat surface.  Then take your liner, this can be a shop bought liner or moss or you can use plastic to line, as long as you put some holes in the bottom for water to drain away.  Then carefully line your container.  Next put some compost in.

If you are planting around the sides of a hanging basket you can half fill with compost.  This will make it easier to plant the flowers around the sides.  When you have got the flowers planted around the sides you can fill the rest of the basket or pot with compost.  Then the flowers can be planted from the top.

It is always best to leave some space between plants as they will spread as they grow.  This can make a bit of a mess in the greenhouses but it is easily cleared up.
