Are you tired of putting your doogy doo in plastic baggies?  Hate picking it up in plastic bags?  Try making your own or buying a doggy pot or doggy composter.  For a few bucks and a trash can, you can build yourself one.   There are several ways to build them online, but the pattern I like best is listed on the City Gardener’s website.

A couple of adjustments that he doesn’t mention.  First, don’t just put in poop.  Feel free to add tree brush,  grass, and other yard clippings.   Two, your poo bucket should be proportionate to your dog.  If you’re going to bury a small trash can in the yard, remember that the average dog creates like 250+ pounds of waste a year.   Think of all those 40lb bags of dog food and where they end up going.  Also, consider how often you’re going to use the soil on your yard.
