Stick them down the cesspit or septic tank. Or of you are on the
mains, put them into the inspection tanks which takes your toilet waste
away.


We are on the mains, but the inspection hatch is not so easy to get at that
I'd want to be lifting it several times a day, I'm afraid.

I should clarify and say that as this is a rural area, there are no dog
bins. If I clear up after my pet on local walks, I'm going to have to take
the results home with me.

Don't compost dog poo.


But why not? What is the reasoning behind the warning, so I can understand
the risk?

Is it still a risk if the poo is buried as per Sue's suggestion, or kept
separate in a 'not for edibles' area? I don't grow a lot of veggies
anyway: most of my compost goes on shrub or flower beds, or round the apple
trees.
