For some reason I thought this guy’s business was about composting the dog poop he collects. Any of you out there doing it?
I don’t see any reason why not. While I’m sure dog poop has all the crazy pathogens that everyone says it has, why would it really be any different in the grand scheme of things from other kinds of poop?
Yes, there may be tapeworms or something similar but I’d still like to go for it and see how it works out. All the books say to keep your pet waste composting efforts separate from your normal pile. I would do that, but I don’t really grow much food and I’ll just use my vermicompost for my basil plant and two tomatoes.
Given the right conditions (ALL food plus at least double that amount in browns) and time period (add to a pile for a year, let it sit for a year), it has to break down to soil once again.
At the end of my first cycle of cat poop composting, I’ll send some samples to a lab for testing just to get the confirmation and show it to my readers. Can’t wait!
I am really curious about the cat poop composting! I’m just interested in finding ways to green my cats overall and the waste issue is just a big one.
yeah, me too! To be clear, cat waste composts of course, but I’ve read plenty of books stating to keep pet waste separate from your compost pile. I tend to find things out on my own after trying them myself when I can. I think worms are the main thing with cat poop.
I’m taking a risk with putting it all together, but I’m not growing any food with my compost and I’m going to do some soil tests as well.
