Would it be OK under apple trees or gooseberry bushes?


I can't see why not, had an allotment where a neighbour had dozens of
cats and we didn't have a problem. Bury it deep enough so you and
others don't accidentally handle it.
There are possible risks from faeces, horse manure is the biggest
vector of tetanus, but normal sensible hygiene is all that is
required. If you think about it, any risk can't be any worse than the
daily cleaning out of a litter tray.


Cat droppings are the PAIN OF MY LIFE in my garden.
I have made a few frames covered with netting to stop them pooing on my
freshly dug ground, and it works, but at sowing time I don't have enough
of them.
If I made enough for all of my areas I would be continually shifting
them, one at a time, for every move I make.

Lazy cat owners should be made to account for their furry pets poos.

I wouldn't hurt a cat or any animal, but the owners!!!!

Cats should be on leads in my opinion as dogs are.

More than a bobs(shilling)worth of my opinion

We live in a relatively isolated area and have a neighbour who has a
number of cats. Having requested help to control the mess - frequently
in our garden - and had the request ignored, we found that placing the
offending mess in an envelope and posting it through the neighbour's
letterbox was a pretty effective way of stopping the nuisance. We gave
several warnings that this would happen before actually doing it. We
don't have the problem any more.

As dog owners, as well as "hosting" our daughter's pooch when she and
brood are on holiday, we are well aware of the need for pets to be
emptied regularly however the process can be managed without turning
other areas into feline/canine lavatories. Pet owners must take
responsibility for their pets!
