On the 12th of July 2008 I wrote a post titled ‘What to do with dog poo?’.
This post was about how we were going to recycle our dog poo (and with two dogs, believe me when I say we have a dog poo factory at our house).
Now moving ahead to the 19th of October 2008, I bought some new plants back home from the nursery. These plants were replanted in larger pots with potting mix and the dog poo that had EM Bokashi sprinkled on it (again read the post ‘What to do with dog poo’ for more info).
Here are photographs I took on that day:

Today over four months along, I took another photograph of that same plant:

Wow our garden pot plants love the dog poo. As the soil level of pot plants need to be replenished, we top up with a mixture of potting mix and dog poo (sprikled with EM Bokashi powder).
For more help or advice with EM Bokashi powder or Bokashi bins have a look at Bokashi composting in Australia’s blog.

Looks like you have stumbled on a winning combination there Sarhn. Probably a lot cheaper than setting up a second worm farm for dog poo.

What a great idea! We only have one little dog – so are still slack and put it in the bin. But I will definately keep this in mind. Cheers, Tricia

You are right Gavin. Also I have found that dog worm medication will kill worm farm worms. Just don’t add the dog poo to any plants that would later be consumed. i.e. lemon trees, vegies etc
Oh Tricia, my heart just broke for you again when you wrote that you have only one little dog. I just remembered you post about the passing of your other little dog last week. Mini & Cooper (my dogs) send their love.

Read your first post back when you started and though it was a neat idea. Great to see it working! Would you mind if do a “good idea” post sometime and link you to my blog on bokashiworld.wordpress.com?
Enjoy the rest of your summer! (Here in Sweden we’re waiting for the last of the snow to melt, for the ground to thaw, for the first spring flowers to appear. Just longing for it!)

It is very good concept that you use Dog Poo. Many Bokashi Bin users probably does not know the application of Poo in Bokashi. Good for your plants too.
