I would even think it is, but this is not a troll message.

I have an adult female Golden Retriever that does her business in our
back yard. I usually go out and clear the minefield once or twice a
week, just before mowing, so the dog s**t may stay on the lawn for a few
days.
The s**t, if left there, burns the lawn for about an inch all around the
s**t, but after removal, the grass around the burnt area grows more
rapidly and is a darker green than the rest of the lawn. The areas look
like volcanic craters. The Golden eats only dry dog food.
So it seems that too much dog s**t is bad, but a little is good. Has
anyone ever tried to use a dog s**t formula as a lawn fertilizer?

you have described fairly much what happens to my lawns when my mutts (and a
lazy shit cat who can't be bothered using a garden to shit in) crap on it. I
mow the shit up if it is there and it goes in the compost. It is autumn here
so the amount of rain at present is washing alot of the poop away within a
few days. Your comment about craters is accurate although my grass takes
quite a time to grow back after being burnt. Like yours my mutts (and cat)
gets biscuits. I use dog poop, mainly what I collect from walking them, as a
mulch under our hedge. I use compost mulch to keep grass and weeds down and
simply add the poop as a top up and fertiliser.

I hope you don't use compost with dog sh*t in it around plants in your
vegetable garden. Diseases can be transmitted to you this way. Also,
lawn chemicals are not good for the plants or for people.

No one has mentioned yet the SMELL of dog crap...
It's just nasty - not to mention the flies it draws.

Unhealthy and a Doggone nasty idea I think.

Just put out some antifreeze in the water dish and some bacon-soaked
sponges. This should stop the problem.

Good luck.

Did you even bother to actually *READ* the original post? It's not someone
else's dog.

it has a bit of an odour but is not really that bad at all. I think cat poop
smells far worse. I do walk my mutts daily and pick up their crap so I have
gotten use to it but it is far from a wretch worthy stench.

Well... to each their own I guess.
Hope your neighbors don't live too close by.
It might even be considered a health department issue in some areas.

the hedge sits on the road frontage but is legally on my property. The poo
goes right under the hedge, there is a strip of grass and then the footpath.
We are getting so much rain that the poo gets washed into the soil within a
matter of days. It gives out no smell whatsoever unless you go and bury your
nose in it.

the dog poop goes as mulch along the hedge. Lawn chemicals go no where near
plants or compost or me anymore. I don't use them now (aside from roundup
occasionally). I decided some time ago spraying the shit out of my lawn
every year can't be that healthy for any of us. My opinion is I can get as
good a result without synthetic chemicals or fertilisers as I did with them.
This autumn my lawn is showing signs I am correct.
