Question
I want to compost both grass and dog manure.  Can this be done?  

Answer
Hello Bill

Dog Manure, as with any meat eating creature, should be avoided in any Composting. Use only Manure that comes from basically non Carnivores. There is an enzyme in Carnivores, including Humans, that can transfer Diseases.

If you wanted to take Dog Manure and Grass clippings and Compost them in an area where it would not be used for Vegetable or Flower Gardens, say in a Wooded area, that would be fine. Just be carefull on how you handle it. Gloves should be worn at all times, and make sure children do not come in contact with it.

I hope this helps, but if you need more information, please don't hesitate with a follow-up Question

The Best of Luck
