It is possible to compost dog doo and this works very successfully if the pit is located next to a tree and shrub border. The hardest part of this project is digging the hole.
1. Take and old garbage can, (plastic is easier to work with) and drill some holes in the side.
2. Cut out the bottom
3. Dig a hole in the ground, deep enough for the garbage can.
4. Place some rocks or gravel in the hole for drainage and position the garbage can so it's a little higher than the soil level.
5. Place the clearly marked lid on top.
6. Add the poop and sprinkle in some septic tank starter. Adding a little water helps get the decomposition going.
7. Dog doo can be added daily along with a little water if necessary. If it looks as though decomposition is slowing down add a little more starter.
8. As the waste breaks down it leaches into the soil and helps to feed the trees and shrubs in the area.
9. Do not remove this type of compost for general garden use.
