Can dog, cat and other animal faeces be composted?
For health reasons, and to be on the safe side, we advise that you compost animal poop (fecal matter) and anything that comes into contact with animal poop in a separate Subpod to your normal Subpod (Subpod for growing human food).
Or that you only use the compost that has been made from the animal poop on your ornamental plants and not used for growing human food.
If you have a dedicated Subpod for composting your animal poop, you can use this to grow healthy nutritious food for your pets that eat leafy greens, e.g. rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, etc. Watch that shiny coat grow :)
