Dog feces is acidic and shitty fertilizer because dogs are primarily carnivorous :(

You're supposed to compost any shit before using it as fertilizer. Appling poop directly to a plant is never really a good idea unless you water it down a lot.

Not always the case

Interesting. The grass around the cat shit in my garden always seems to grow much better than the surrounding grass. I'm assuming the cats also eat a carnivorous diet.

It all depends on the plant. Some plants, including grasses, take direct shit great. Others, not so much. It has less to do with the type of shit and more with the type of plant. Most shit is composted before use.

You can tell this gentleman knows his shit

Of all things I know, I'm recognized for my knowledge in shit...

This gentleman shits

Thank you!

I learn a lot of things on HN. But, this was a surprise, and a genuinely interesting one.

Poop for the win, I guess.

Dude you are not taking great care of your garden...
