Proper composting kills pathogens...

Would you really want to risk it considering you may not properly

compost?
I'd sooner spend a few bucks on a bial of straw or hay than throw dog

shit
in my bin.


I shovel up the dog shit and throw it up against the fence for my wild
grape vines to eat. The grapes never come into contact with the poop, so
I don't worry about it. The grape vines seem to be very happy, and I've
got to do SOMETHING with the shit from 3 shelties and a border collie,
plus two lab/chows that I'm boarding for a friend! ;-)

The grape vines (and the honeysuckle vines) seem to appreciate the
fertilizer!


Seems that using it on anything I'm going to eat is out of the question.
But I have some other things I might try it on.

Thanks for all the "shitty" ideas.

:-D

Just be careful with it. It's very rich in Nitrogen!
