Default Soil for Water Lillies

My local pond store said to put Lillies in half potting soil, half cat
litter. They guy wants to sell me a little bag of 'special' pond soil for
about 15 bucks.

Can I get something at Home Depot or Lowes that I can mix with cat litter
and get same results? Soil from elsewhere in my yard won't work, it's

sand
with just about zero organic matter.


I don't use cat litter, but I mix "Composted Cow Manure" (available at
Frank's and Home Depot and other places) with ordinary topsoil with great
success. I suspect that Cat litter plus composted cow manure would work very
well as well. Do not use dehydrated cow manure however.
