Dog feces in compost?
"Brigitte J." wrote in
: Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is dog poop OK in the compost bin? This gets asked repeatedly, and you'll get answers on both sides. I've been doing it for years, with no noticeable problems. However, this is small healthy urban dog fed only prepared foods. Some obvious risk factors for having nasties in the dog poop: - dog doesn't get regular health checks and shots, etc. - dog eats uncooked meat - dog catches and eats wild prey - dog has a lot of contact with many other dogs Be sure your compost is well-rotted before, and for extra safety don't apply directly on top of edible vegetables - better to dig into the ground. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- A L B E R T A Alfred Falk R E S E A R C H Information Systems Dept (780)450-5185 C O U N C I L 250 Karl Clark Road Edmonton, Alberta, Canada http://www.arc.ab.ca/ T6N 1E4 http://www.arc.ab.ca/staff/falk/ |
