Can I use dog feces in (under) the mulching? My little puppy produces a fair amount for such a small dog. Snow is about 85% gone. Am gathering all the detritus in one spot pending the landscapers coming. I am eyeballing a way to build shallow swales to direct water drainage away from some areas that seem permanently wet and hardpanned. My papers, cardboard, kitchen detritus, cleanup from the gardens of brown stuff, and left over bags of last fall's cleanup will all get spread there on top. Well, cardboard on bottom, chips on very top. I will plant in containers this summer to let the stuff sort of settle in and start its process. And going to wood chip over some lawn (about 3-8' wide and about 20' long) that takes forever to get healthy (on west side of house in the shade and wet). It simply isn't worth the effort and water to try to make it grow. And if you walk on it at all it makes it even worse. I may have them expand the width of the rhubarb bed on one side to allow for more stuff to plant that likes that area. Bleeding heart is up against the wall of the house and gives me my flower fix. Have to come up with vegies that like that kind of environment like rhubarb. Or grow more rhubarb I guess.
