What do you do with yours?!
We have 3 dogs so a fair bit of poo gets picked up here.
At our old house there was a drain cover that lifted straight into the sewer which at first I figured pretty gross but in fact became where I chucked it daily and it was almost custom made.
Now I have horses at home so it's going on the muck heap. The muck heap however will eventually be spread on fields, on crops going into the human food chain. Is this wrong? It feels a bit disgusting to me now I've thought about it! Just seemed the obvious place.
 
I bury it in one corner of the muck heap .
It ends up on the grazing fields but it's two years old by then and well rotted .
 
Being carnivores I was under the impression that dog waste was not safe for humans (hense why you must remove dog poo from parks etc but dont have to remove horse poo)
I would be dubious about putting on your muck heap. Down the sewer was a much better place for it.
 
I'm a bag it bin it person now, but have buried it in the past. My old nan put her dogs' (and visiting dogs) poo down the loo!
 
I bag it and bin it! Annoyingly some people don't pick it up in the hay barn! So as I am head groom, it becomes my job - APPARENTLY!!
I personally think if you're at a yard, you should pick up after your dog. Since it's your own home, you can do what you like, with in reason! But I still go for the bag it, bin it :)
