Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our Lisa’s written a fabulous tutorial on building your own dogshit composter — something that’ll bring up the Easter daisies a treat.
This is Ruby’s butt, a great source for fresh, fertile minpin poop. She eats pretty healthy food–broccoli, carrots, lean ground turkey, some California Naturals kibble, so I’m assuming her poop’s made up of a lot of the same stuff too.My friend Christian, who famously composts his own (bigger) dogs’ poop, clued me into the importance of red wiggler worms, so I decided to go to nearby Buena Vista Park to dig for some. People use them to compost human waste, too. If you’re not into digging for worms, hardware stores sell things like septic starter or commercial fertilizer that can also do the trick.
