dog faeces can it be added to compost heap

... I wouldn't use dog poo, or cat poo, just as I wouldn't use human poo, though I'm quite happy for the uring of all 3 to be on my compost heap. "Night soil" has been used as fertiliser for millenia, and I think sewage sludge is available for soil improvement in some areas of the UK. I've added the product from up to 4 large dogs to the compost bin ever since it blocked the outside loo pipework about 20 years ago. Each bin is filled over one year, along with the usual garden waste and kitchen peelings, and then left a further year before use. After the worms and bacteria have gone through it, no smell remains, and the texture is crumbly. There are some crops that are said to take up the taste of over-fresh manures (potatoes is one, IIRC) but for greens and flowers, no problem. |
