Happy Bunny !!!!
Not only does she scare the birds & cats from digging in the garden, she also helps by fertilising our poor old Lemon tree.... We planted the tree when we first moved in about 8 years ago & only got 2 lemons in the first year & then nothing until now...About February last year, when we made a start on the veggie patch, we got sick of throwing out all the valuable unprocessed plant food Bunny was creating so decided to Make a Puppy loo like the ones we had read about in Grass Roots magazines...
Puppy Loo !!!All that is needed is..
old bucket with tight fitting lid
Saw
Shovel
At least 1 well fed Dog.....
- Cut the bottom off of the bucket just above the base using a Hacksaw
- Dig a hole deeper than the bucket by ½.. It helps if you can taper the hole in towards the base to stop the bucket from slipping below ground level...
- Push the bucket into the hole & fill in around the side of bucket...
We introduced a good handful of composting worms about 6 months ago & have noticed that the Bucket was taking ages to fill.... We can only put this down to the worms & other ground dwelling critters eating the waste & turning it into food for the nearby Lemon tree....
We have picked a few lemons already & have over a Dozen left that are slowly ripening.... To top it off, the tree is full of blossoms & next seasons crop.... The only thing we have done differently is adding the Puppy Loo just under the drip line of the tree.....
HTH someone out there....
Have a good One all....
