[OldPossum]

My dog has 12 acres. If he uses the lawn on occasion, it gets mowed into the grass and does what fertilizer is supposed to do.

My two dogs have similar acreage. I have a plastic container that I bought at Family Dollar. I take that in my left hand and in my right hand I hold a set of 12-inch metal "tweezers" (for lack of a better term), and every day I go around the lawn and pick up the droppings. After the container is full I take it to one spot in the woods and dump it. Possums and other critters take care of it from there.

"...My two dogs have similar acreage..."

For those of us with 1 acre or less, just use a garden hose—pooh turns to poof!
