Man that is nasty. One reason why i could never have a dog. OR a cat. One job this american will never want to do. Perhaps what the homesteaders use would be less handling, messy and smelly.Bucket of sawdust. No smell,no liquid, every time you add to the bucket add 1 inch or more of sawdust over it.

sawdust works better.
My friend Dave is a volunteer on the Appalachian trail. He can't taste or smell since he had a tracheotomy. He's the guy they get to move the compost from the large containers under the moldering privies. I have been 20 foot away and can't stand the smell. Every two yrs the compost is shoveled onto the mountain.

I used sawdust/wood shavings when I had an incontinent Boxer that would crap several times a day in my garage. That was easy. A couple of drywall knives and right into a pail. Sprinkle little sawdust on top and done. The issue with the sawdust/compost concept in the dog area is all the rocks and still need to have a place to throw away or compost.lincolnmania wrote: ↑Wed.

I have a shop at a building with no water or sewer service. I keep a bucket of sawdust around just in case i need to go. Seems urine and sawdust are a good combination,absolutely no smell. The nitrogen speeds up composting. Once the bucket is full with damp sawdust it can be dumped in the woods. If i had pets id use sawdust instead of pet litter.
Please (God) help me understand this video!! I had to stop watching 1/2 way through. Clearly this is not a joke/prank video.
Why-why why? It just is not that difficult to scoop poop. Why would anyone ever bring it into the house? Why would anyone turn a 2 minute relatively painless & clean job into a 2 day process with aerated rinsed off sh*t into their slop sink splattered everywhere, then drag a dripping 5 gallon bucket through a clean house to flush? He is pureeing dog sh*t with a pressure hose.
I've seen some ridiculous stuff, but this man thinks he 'figured out THE better way', so much so that he made a video to show the world. I would never set foot in that man's house, the contamination from bacteria & parasites alone.
I cannot unsee this. And some other people have probably watched this & think this is a solution.
Can you imagine if/when he had kids how long the process of changing a diaper must have been?

Yeah, I toss the cat stuff outside! Takes 5 seconds!

One thing that kept me away from any type of furred pets is being a landlord and cleaning up these places after the tenants had pets. The hair is EVERYWHERE. Even in relatively well cared for pets and homes. Even when they paid extra deposits for pets it still never came close to covering the cleanup time and expense. Dealing with this at work is enough. Wife is the same way. No furred pets.
