What to do with dog poo…
When we decided to get a dog, my biggest concern was that I love my gardens and I didn’t want them littered with little smelly landmines. I regularly kick the rugby ball around the backyard with my brother in law and didn’t want to have to give that up because of the dogs’ business.
We are slowly training Baci to go in a particular corner of the garden where nobody goes. The problem then is, what do we do with the waste? There is much conflicting information out there about dog waste in compost or worm farms. The waste can introduce a bacteria which will throw the compost system out and worms simply to not eat it quick enough (Requiring a much larger worm farm). Then, because of the excess time to break down the waste in a worm farm, you run out of room for your vegetation waste and start seeing problems with a slow down in the cycle.
So, after some researching and a few enquiries, I decided to get a Doggie Doo Digester. There are a lot of products like this on the market now and they all seem great. The idea behind this is that the digester contains water and an enzyme which breaks the waste down into liquid, then monthly, you pull the plug out of the bottom (on a long handle so you dont get goo on your hands) and it drains into the earth. Easy, clean, safe. You can get a better idea of how it works at the digester site.
Anyway, we installed ours over the weekend. I will post pics and updated info on its ongoing use as we eliminate our waste with it.
