Is cat poo good or bad for the garden? Just spotted one of next door's cats
having a dump (away from plants and he has tried to bury it, bless him). I
know it doesn't do lawns much good, based on a neighbour who used to live
across the road and kept blaming my cat (all cats look alike except to their
carers).

I'll happily dig it in if it's going to help the soil

Cat poo does not fertilise. I believe that there are only 2 animals who
have this distinction, the other being the Polar Bear and you do not
want one of those on your garden
The best thing to do is to remove it and throw it away.

Staffy? Pshaw! Our English would have eaten them if she'd caught them...

We had 27 cats living next to our last allotment and we just dug it in, no
problems.
Just take normal hygienic precautions as you would putting your hands in any
soil, people often moan about it but then they use Horse Manure which is the
biggest carrier of Tetanus.

Hmm - No Nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium ? Unlikely given what goes in
at the other end.

Yeah I bet.... She found a Hedgehog in the garden last week, all I could
here was her whining then yelping as she kept trying to get it to play by
poking it with her nose.
