Apparently, dog poop is not an effective fertilizer and is considered harmful for grass?
Was news to me as a dog owner who allows our dog to do her business in the back yard (but would never allow it on a public walkway/area).

- schwartzworld 3y agoThat blows my mind. I had two dogs as a kid, and if we didn't pick up the poop fast it destroyed the grass underneath. Their corner of the yard was all dead grass.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoMy dog has pooped in my backyard for years and nothing but thick quality grass everywhere. probably because most kibble is vegetable based and vegetable based poop is good for the grass. maybe you fed your dog more meat? if your dog's poop is killing the grass you're doing something seriously wrong with its diet.
- schwartzworld 3y ago> most kibble is vegetable based Most cheap kibble maybe. > if your dog's poop is killing the grass you're doing something seriously wrong with its diet. If yours isn't, I think _you_ might be doing something wrong with its diet. https://lawnlove.com/blog/is-dog-poop-bad-for-grass/ https://lawnlove.com/blog/is-dog-poop-bad-for-grass/

- imzadi 3y agoI think any poop from a carnivore is bad for grass, and everything else. You can compost it and it will be usable after about 1.5 years.
- hasty_pudding 3y agodogs are omnivores. most kibble is vegetable based
- imzadi 3y agoSorry, misspoke. I meant any animal that eats meat, including humans, dogs, chickens, etc. If they eat meat, there are toxins in the poop that make it inappropriate as a fertilizer, but you can compost it and kill off most of the bad stuff.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoUsing an A.I. article from lawnlove.com as a source....okayyyy This country has really gone downhill with education My teachers would have yelled at me for having a source like that.
- nervousvarun 3y agoFair point. Was my first Google hit on "is dog poop bad for a lawn" which was probably lazy on my part.
