I mentioned last week<\/a> that I would be digging a dog poop composter in the backyard, and in a fit of uncharacteristic efficiency I actually went and did it this weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 It was pretty easy, and took very little time.\u00c2\u00a0 I will let you know how well it composts poop in a year or so once it has had some time to really get rocking.<\/p>\n

However, it seems that as a destination for neighborhood poop, it has been an unheralded success.\u00c2\u00a0 I finished digging the hole in our backyard at about 2:30pm or so, and by 7pm someone had already somehow identified what the buried bucket lid was for from afar, trespassed ONTO our backyard, and left a tied-up baggie of poop in the composter (btw completely wrecking the purpose of the composter).\u00c2\u00a0 That beats Kevin Costner and his flipping baseball field<\/a>, he had to wait until dark.<\/p>\n

Seriously though, what the heck is that all about?\u00c2\u00a0 Now what do I do if my poop hole becomes the most popular in the neighborhood?\u00c2\u00a0 If I put up a sign asking for “no plastic bags” does that not imply that anyone can leave their poop in my hole?\u00c2\u00a0 If I put up a sign that says “Private Poop Hole” is that not already implied?\u00c2\u00a0 I mean the hole is in my own backyard after all.\u00c2\u00a0 How do I keep stranger’s poop out of my hole?\u00c2\u00a0 Does this paragraph make anyone else uncomfortable?<\/p>\n

Who knew that just digging a hole would open up, ah, a can of worms?<\/p>\n
