I burried Dog Poo in my garden, Please help!?

Question

I've been doing extensive gardening of my yard this month, because of a lack of
time I buried dog foul in what now will be my
veggie garden. Is there anything I can use to treat it, its about 6
inches deep.

Also how far from it can I plant veggies and things?

Answer 1

It would be nice if it was use-able. Dog poop is a horrible fertilizer because of the junk we feed them. And it's full of harmful parasites! You can't raise worms in it and it doesn't compost. Veggies are ok in any adjoining plot, just not right on top of it. You should get a soil test from your local county co-operative extension to see what the soil in your doggie plot is doing. If you give it a couple of years to break down, I suspect it will be ok.

Doggie-doo can go into your regular garbage that gets picked up by your town. My neighbor has a big dog and he just brings out the garbage can with a bag already in it, and shovels the poop right in with his snow shovel.

Answer 2

Not the best fertilizer because of the animal content of dog foods. I wouldn't concern my self with parasites, simply because there are so many critters wandering around (cats, raccoons, dogs, whatever), that microfilleria are just about everywhere in some concentration or another.

If you climate has a geniuine winter with freezer temps, everything should be fine by spring. Tossing some high nitrogen fertilizer (like ammonium nitrate) on the ground now will also speed up decomposition.

In the future however, save the shiht-zhu sh*t for the trash.:-)

I would plant my veggie garden far away from that spot. Dog poop and veggies gardens don't mix. You can get very sick from parasites and worms. Cat s*** is the same. I would plant veggie garden far away from that area. In the summer you can dig up the the area and let the hot sun kill the exposed area, but I still would avoid using this area. You can get very , very sick if you ingest something that was grown near the poop.
Good luck.

i think you learned your lesson- but it is not the poo that causes concern it its the probability that it may have contained worms and such-- personally i would stay as far from that area as i could until it breaks down good- and use diatomaceous earth in the garden to kill off the bad guys(it is safe to eat - but not to breath- so wear a mask when you put it down) it does not kill worms, that's why it is good for the garden- but bad because it won't kill poo worms either- just bugs- slugs etc- it is a fossilized hard algae- no more dog poo in the garden!!!! horse and such are good if you let them compost first, otherwise they can burn your plants--- happy planting

Answer 5

now no longer the main perfect fertilizer by using utilising animal content fabric fabric of canines aspects. i does not problem my self with parasites, by using utilising actuality there are countless of critters wandering around (cats, raccoons, canines, in spite of), that microfilleria are almost everywhere in some concentration or yet yet another. in case you climate has a geniuine winter with freezer temps, each and every difficulty would desire to prefer to be extreme high quality by utilising utilising spring. Tossing some severe nitrogen fertilizer (like ammonium nitrate) on the floor now will additionally speed up decomposition. quicker or later besides the indisputable actuality that, shop the shiht-zhu sh*t for the trash.:-)

Answer 7

one piece of dog poop wont hurt .the nitrogen content is way to high for a garden. some kinds of veggies will do better with that kind of fertilizer. in short get thee to a good nursery.

By the time Spring comes around the poo will be gone, Don't worry about it.

manure is used to help plants grow, it will be ok,
and in fact may have allready broken down.
if you've ever had rabbits eat out of your garden,
you have probably allready had waste on it, with no problems.
