HELP! Dog poo stuck on grass :-(

I'm not sure if here is the right place to post, so I've asked on 'Gardening, too.

Basically, it's what is said in the title: we've had heavy rain and not much frost here, and there is now an awful mess in my garden.

Any tips much appreciated

You may have had advice already from the Gardeners, but I use a trowel. I keep one especially for this delightful job.

Ah, what a great idea! Thank-you.

I got some up yesterday as we finally had a frost, but didn't manage to get all of it

No reply from Gardening as yet, so thanks again for your suggestion - I'll give it a try :)

pour hot water on it to defrost it so it can be removed?

Of course, you may end up with a sludgy half cooked lump of crap on your garden.

Thank-you, but it's very tricky getting it off the grass when it's wet ...

I do apologise for this most revolting thread, everyone ...

Then your only option is to put nappies on your dog Wink

I have a coal shovel which is dog poo only. Gets 98% of it up. Every other day go round with shovel and carrier bag.

Okay, so a sturdy object to get the poo up ... That's going on my Christmal list! Xmas Grin Thanks so much for your suggestion, Viva

immodium for the dog?

I picked a couple up yesterday morning when it was -4. They were all like rock and even the ones that had been in two days of rain came up perfectly. No leftovers at all!

Haha!! 'Leftovers' ... Molotov may be almost into her 3rd decade on Planet Earth, but still has the sense of humour of someone half her age
