Dog Crap

[boosboss]

Last summer, Southwark Council ran a campaign called 'Flag The Poo' where they went around all the parks in the borough sticking small orange flags in all the poo they found, hoping to shame errant dog owners into behaving more responsibly. The scheme didn't work, but contrary to the above post and it's 'chav' reference, Dulwich Park was one of the worst! So perhaps it's a case of 'Too posh to scoop!' In ED it could even be that snobbery prevents stooping to such depths as to collect the unmentionable items!

I especially get irrate when the dog craps dead in the centre of the yellow spray can sign on the pavement. Almost like a bullseye. Do not let your dog crap here....too late.

Sorry, I have to defend the chav's cos most of the people I know own chavvy bull-breed dogs, and they get their dog pooh bags free from the library and have no problem scooping up the offending stuff.

It does occur to me tho, being a bit greenish, that putting compostible matter into non-compostible bags is a bit of a crap way of dealing with it, and what happens to it after we dilligently pop it into the dog pooh bins?

Does it get incinerated, or stuffed in landfill?

When my dog does a crap in my garden, I put it in a compostable bag with the garden waste, but if I had to buy compostable bags I'd be too broke to feed my chav dog on the raw tripe he loves so much.

Wot a conundrum.

ho CWALD - you most certainly should not add dog shit to your compost. It can be composted separately using special additives as long as the resulting compost is used on non-food crops but definitely not for general compost as it contains pathogens and bacteria that do not die in the process.

I noticed in Farmer's this weekend they were selling biodegradable dog poo bags - the prices there are seldom excessive.

OHMYGOD!!! Asset - I shall have to go and lie down. Shame on you.

Darling Peckhamgatecrasher, do you have a Panadol?

You have to heat treat it and it's ok - the resulting compost, not the pooh! Not sure what process they use for human compost toilets, but it's all usuable, just not on food crops, like you say Asset
