Composting pet waste and manure with worms is one of my favourite subjects, because so few people know it’s possible. Compost worms happily eat dog poop, rabbit manure and horse manure and turn them into castings, which keeps the waste out of the rubbish bin.
There are a few rules I follow. Use a separate bin, never the one for your kitchen scraps. Keep castings from dog and human waste away from vegetables and other food plants; use them for flowers, shrubs and lawns. And handle it with gloves and common sense, because pathogens can survive for quite some time.
Below are all my articles on worms and poop, from setting up your first dog-poop bin to keeping black soldier flies out of it.
