Dog poo in compost
The message
from "George.com" contains these words:
Extremely orthodox composters are strongly opposed to adding manure from
meat eating animals in their compost pile. Herbivores yes but carnivores,
like dogs and cats, no.
My mutts turn out a regular supply of pooh. They however are rather spoiled
and get premium biscuits and the occasional left overs such as cooked veges
or meats (basically what I eat).
What they eat is irrelevant. Cats and dogs carry zoonotic intestinal
parasites whose very persistent eggs are shed in their faeces. Even if
the animals are regularly wormed, they often get re-infected in between
treatments.
