Garden full of deal animals and bins of dog poo!

Well I guess it is an area of the country where some people leave their dogs outside regularly? (Speaking as someone who has come from an area of the country where people don't do that to an area where I found some people do).

With that...I've often wondered what the dog-leavers-out here do about the fact that the dogs must surely be pooing in their own gardens and how they dispose of it.:think:. I've never known/still don't know anyone personally who keeps a dog outside and hence the puzzlement. I always thought dogs only went to the loo on their 2/3 daily walks the owner took them on.

Hence the concern about leaving the soil exposed to the elements for a year or so before using it to grow any food in, as that dog poo presumably got onto the earth to start with and the dog-owner then shovelled it up into those bins.

Anyone else getting flashbacks to the thread about the dog, the pond and the bag for life?

I hate to admit it, but we've buried three of our labradors in the garden; I drew the line at burying my horses there, as I would have needed a huge excavator to make a large enough hole (no mean feat to actually bury a horse, as Dave has shown!)

Not very large. We dug a hole last autumn looking for a drain. It only took 15 minutes to make one over 2m deep and long enough to bury a car. That was using a digger which just fits through a 4' gate, but significantly, there was no bed rock until about 2m down.

N.B. I hasten to add, we did not bury anything and just filled in the hole! :A

With our dogs poop we shovel it up and lob it into the manhole cover that flows into our septic tank, then give it a quick hose down. We often toy with the idea of training them to just squat directly over the hole but alas, like with so many other things, they are resistent to learning new tricks.
