agreed, good common sense comments. I always pick my dog
poop up when we go out for a walk but empty the bag under
my hedge. I cannot see too much wrong with that. I worm the
mutts and keep other parasites under control with them.

as long as your hedge isn't in an area where water runoff
occurs, that's probably ok. but if it's near a body of water
(including storm drain/street runoff), then it's a bad idea.

you throw the poop under trees or hedges & let natures deconstruction crew
take care of it. Yes, some nutrients from the poop may find their way in to
the water system, I have no way of knowing. The poop will have gone through
a layer of mulch and earth on its way down however. It also takes a time for
the poop to decompose so the plant feeding is from a nice slow fertiliser.
