Also want a dog loo for the doggie doo... :roll:
Rats will get through chicken wire and/or it will rust. The council didn't know what to do about rats, but when I contacted Greencone.com, they sent out a new plastic basket and a heavy duty metal mesh wrap to go around it. So far, so good.

Details at the bottom of the Green Cone FAQ.

shirlz - we had a dog loo once, it was useless!! the poo stayed there for months, even when it had been sprinkled with the bacteria stuff. Dad dug it up in the end because it was just smelling and not breaking down.

Hi Fee Fairy, our dog toilet works well with EM Bokashi, and no smells. I would question the EM Bokashi.
Treat the earth well, and it will give you life
