Doggy toilets!!

sorry to start on such a bizarre subject, I have just extended my veggie patch and found a disused dog toilet under ground, it's been out of use for 7 years at least as we moved in 7 years ago, there was just brown water in in, no smell and I wondered if anyone had any idea whether it was safe to carry on with planting veggies in it or had any ideas of what to do to make it safe

many thanks

Hi Fi welcome to our friendly forum.

I would dig the toilet out and take it to the local skip, if it's not been used in the last 7 years or so it sounds good enough to me not to worry about it but if I'm wrong I'm sure some one will put you right.Hel.xxx.

 

They were all the rage a while back. We had one but our Lab' filled it before it had a chance to work it's magic.. It's still in the ground..somewhere :D
Shouldn't be a problem but if you're concerned just don't plant your root crops on the spot for season or two.

 

Welcome to the forum Fi Friend,just dig it out sling it fill the hole with top soil and plant your veg.these dog loos used to be filled with a chemical that broke down the dogs fecal matter that was dropped in,as the bin got fuller the slurry leached into the ground through the slots in the sides supposedly harmless after 7years the ground should be ok to use.
