Default Doggy poop disposal

Anyone have any ideas about getting rid of dog poops. I have two Jack
Russells that seem to do copious amounts of the stuff in the garden. I
have tried the doggy loo thing which seems to be useless as I spend
endless time filling it with water in an attempt to flush it away. It
just isn't efficient and doesn't seem to work.

Are there any other things on the market that would help? Would be
grateful if anyone could let me know.

I do not know of any suitable products to get rid of dog poops.
Excretabeta (pre release name) was developed in the mid 70's. It consisted
of enzymes and detergent and a few other bits and pieces (i.e. biological
detergent) but all you got was a foaming dog turd. It's not April 1st and it
is true- honest.
The woman up the road collects her dog poop and that of other less
thoughtful owners and flushes it down the loo.
I suppose that is legal?

I'm not sure it's illegal Rupert but I know that you are not supposed
to do it because apparently the stuff they treat sewage with doesn't
kill all the diseases etc that animals carry it only kills and makes
good human sewage, so it's a definite no no. At least that is what I
have been led to believe.

Don't ask the question! It is bound to prompt legislation.
Although, given the high proportion of vermin taking advantage of the
sewer system, I doubt that a bit of doggie-do will add significantly
to potential concern.

In the corner somewhere :-))

chuck a little earth in each time and when within 9 inches of the top, fill
in and start again :-)))

Works, honest. Been there. Done that. Had a clear garden :-)) and that was
with Alsatians :-))

any dog poo I collect from my 2 mutts goes under the front hedge as a
mulch/manure. I keep it permanently mulched to suppress grass and weeds. The
poo just adds to the mulch and breaks down quickly in rain. It does smell
either unless the poop is very fresh.
