The Downlow on the Doodies
People actually purchase cow doodie. Yes, people buy poop. Even more valuable, worm poop. I swear it's true. The crap makes everything grow... pun intended.
Dog poop however, is not a valuable fertilizer.
Dog poop burns grass and leaves discoloration.
You see cows eat grass and worms eat dirt. It's nature made to return to the earth, becoming a rich nutrient for the earth- for having provided the best of itself as nutrients to the life of the animal that ate it.
Dogs eat, processed kibble. Don't hear me wrong; I'm not judging the kibble; I know It's the lesser population that feeds their dog a diet of boiled rice and chicken that was prepared in their kitchen. And many of today's kibble is made to be good for the dog. What you get in the end is literally the product of what was put in.
Dog Poop also spreads disease and attracts vermin, like rats.
With the presence of vermin, you have more poop. And wild poop brings worms. Not just the kind that eat dirt and put out amazingly rich fertilizer... I'm talking about the kind that buries into skin through feet and lives on blood and flesh of other living creatures.
When your dog or other animals, sometimes even your own shoe, has stepped in feces, worm eggs and other bacteria can be transferred from one location to another and spread illness. When ingested by vermin, the parasites can begin a new life cycle and be moved to endless locations.
Poop Begets Poop
Risk begets risk.
Wild animals and vermin aside, other dogs can smell each other downwind for blocks or miles away. Just having poop in your yard increases the likeliness that other dogs and wild animals will want to mark in your yard.
It can't be helped, animals are wired to mark their territory. Poop, urine, spraying or even spit is a form of communication among animals. It might be saying "This is Mine." or "I don't like you" or even- "I really like you a lot." There might be as many different reasons for marking as their are animals that do it.
No matter the reason, having poop brings more poop.
With all these smells, that's the kind of yard that brings down a whole neighborhood; it won't be winning the Christmas light contest. This is not a yard you will be wanting to hang your hammock or invite company to.
Long story short... Clean your poop.
