Make your dog poop work for you!

To make your dog poop work for you Blue Paw Nation recommends composting. Following are some tips on how to compost your dog's waste.


What You Need To Start a Dog Poop Compost
  1. Recycle an old plastic garbage can with a lid
  2. Gather some rocks or gravel
  3. Purchase a Septic Starter kit (found at your local hardware store)

How To Compost Dog Poop
  • Choose an area at least 15 feet from your backyard garden to prevent contamination issues
  • Cut out the bottom of the old plastic garbage can
  • Cut 10-12 dime to quarter size holes in the sides of the garbage can
  • Dig a hole deep enough and wide enough for the old plastic garbage can you will use 
  • Place the gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage, then sink the garbage can in the hole leaving about 1” over ground level

Wait 2 days and throw in your poop. No worries, the waste is degrading into the subsoil. Add daily as needed.
