SeeGee Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi all! I can only assume that, because things are warming up here in sunny Qld, smells are starting to come out! As I got out of my car to open the gate, I got as massive wiff of dog poo!! I was shocked! I've walked along the perimeter of the property (1.5 acres) and wandered through it, and I can't find ANYTHING that would create such a smell! No massive fresh deposits or older piles - nothing. How can I make this smell go away? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm actually very embarrassed! I have 2 beagles. Thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd be interested. I have paving over the majority of the yard, with one tiny section of garden. Which is were Dory likes to pee and that is the part that smells the worst. What can you put on a garden to stop the stink, that isn't harmful to the dogs?

SeeGee Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Dory I was told that for urine smells you could spray vinegar over the area. I don't know if that would work for dog poo smell though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasareina Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've heard that when you are putting down new wood chips etc to put a layer of lime down which helps prevent fleas and also smells... mainly urine though i think. I know this doesn't help the OP though - sorry! You have't just rolled over a fresh "deposit" and have it on the car wheels or something do you?

Loving my Oldies Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 What can you put on a garden to stop the stink, that isn't harmful to the dogs? Soil. have it on the car wheels or something do you? What I though LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple answers are often the best. And it could use a top up out there. I'm not a gardener and never had a stinky wee spot probelm before.

persephone Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Decent compost/mulch helps break things down naturally :) my cat litterboxes just use available soil etc here, and I find if I use leafmouldy stuff as opposed to clean sand, the smell is hardly noticeable . if you are no gardener, but have plants in that area, pls check with a nursery before adding anything. Plants will die quickly if soil pH is wrong, if their tiny surface roots cannot access air/moisture, or if nutrients from the mulch/soil are in the wrong balance ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But talking to a nursery is a very good idea regardless. They could have some ideas to add. (DOL...the one stop solution shop. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dory the Doted One Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just a thought.... It's not wafting over from a neighbouring property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeGee Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yea I'm wondering that too. More investigation needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be broadcast far and wide. I want to cry when I see acres and acres (exaggeration LOL) of kitty litter in supermarkets. Bit of soil in decent sized litter trays and dump in garden. If no garden, around trees on footpaths. If no trees on footpaths, plant some - LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shapeshifter Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd use lime as well, horse people use it in stables on the wee spots, I've used it the whole time I had my horses in stables on soil floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpette Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 May I suggest Dynamic Lifter/blood and bone has been applied to one of the neighbours' gardens and the smell is wafting over your place. A bit of rain and it will be gone in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flame ryder Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 yep I second the dynamic lifter...the smell is REALLY strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
