Never heard of that, but it's actually quite fascinating, as indeed it
includes many of the same rendering-plant gross-out garbagy
ingredients that are elsetimes used as fertilizers, except a half-peg
higher in the chain so not quite as leached of nutrients as would be
fish or bonemeal for gardens. And not inconceibably better as a
fertilizer than as a dogfood.

now that I've thought about it, adding dog food directly to the soil
probably isn't a good idea ... what I have heard is people add dog food
to a nitrogen deficient *compost* pile. adding dog food directly will
probably just invite snoopy, spike, olaf, ranger rick, sammy squirrel and
ollie otter to an early breakfast buffet.
