Composting Dog Poop - is it going too Far?

Okay - so I'm into the "green" thing. We recycle as much as we can. I love the new PlanetGreen channel 102. "Living with Ed" is one of my favorites! I'm trying to convince my husband a hybrid is worth the cost. Anyway - I have two rather large dogs - and they produce a large amount of waste - what do you do with it?

So - I'm reading - watching and I come across this website that has a solution. A dog poop composter! How cool is that? So - you take a trashcan - with a lid and cut off the bottom and put several holes in it. Bury it into a hole into the ground unti the top is just a fe inches above the ground. You need to put some rocks and sand in the hole to help with drainage.

So - you scoop the poop - put it in the can - the lid keeps it from smelling. Each week add some septic starter and a little water. The poop breaks down - filters through the rock and sand and seeps back into the ground. Safe for the environment!

What a deal!
