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.

I have two huge GSDs and a springer spaniel, so lots of dog crap here too. I
wish I could find something fool proof to do with it - particularly this
week as some nerk has stolen my wheelie bin !! (I'm in the UK - for anyone
who doesn't know what a wheelie bin is - it's a big trash bin you set
outside every week with your trash bags in it to be put in the garbage
lorry. I expect it will be a week or so before the council will bring me a
new one). So my poor little temporary dog shite bin in the back garden is
full to overflowing ....ick.

Composting it for flower gardens and other inedibles is acceptable. :-)

Have you seen one of these?

This is created specifically for dealing with dog waste.
I'm seriously considering getting one. ;-)
