Geez. You ticked every box. Beauty, harmonious in the garden, convenience, easy, progressive use, environmentally thoughtful. Zero plastic! Not a job well done, but done to perfection. Thank you for sharing.
We have the same set up at our cabin in the mountains. It is not for dogs, however. It has an outhouse on top of the hole. About every ten years, it is time to dig a new hole and move the outhouse. Nothing non- biodegradable is allowed in the hole. Works pretty good!
This is awesome! We have 4 dogs in our backyard & the poop accumulating around the yard is creating a fly infestation. I will probably make about 2 of these to clean up the yard, promote more green grass and be rid of the flies. Thank you for sharing your dog poopie hidden compost solution.
This was the best idea I have implemented for our yard care. We have a 35 lb Standard Poodle puppy, well on his way to 60 lbs. We are working on our second hole. He has huge poop! Between designing a poop/pee area and this poop hole, our yard is poop free and looks nice. Thank you so much for this idea!
I’m on my 30th hole and on the 3rd dog at 3 homes. Our 70# doodle caused me to dig big holes and flood them w water 3 times a year to help settle the contents.
@@kenyareed3051 I have added enzyme drain cleaner and filled the water with/the hose. I have 15 or more of these in a row around my garage and then into my flower beds. This has been over 40 years and you can’t tell where the old holes are.
Great idea and a really helpful video! The only thing I will do differently is add some pet waste digester from time to time to hasten the poop’s breakdown and to also kill parasites, E-coli, etc., that could get into my groundwater.
Yeah, if you're going through all this trouble and materials cost, this would be the best thing to do. Also if you have a lot of land and can afford to dig "shit pits" all over without digging the same spot twice. For me, I just use a rake and a shovel and throw it in the yard waste when I mow the lawn and it goes out on trash day.
Thanks...So easy and SO SMART! Ive got to go to my local hardware spot today, so I guess I'll be seeing what I can pick up there first. Already have a post-hole digger. Just need the other supplies now! Thanks again Mr. Hardware!
As an electrician I have access to 9 foot long post hole diggers. That would be a deep one and make one hole last a very long time! Great video. Good job!
We just got a new puppy,, a German Shepherd who is going to be very large. We live in a mobile home community so we are very close to neighbors.. This is fantastic.. I am making one for our yard!!! Thanks and I'm sharing your video on my FB page!!!
@Jeremiah Welch Nice? Bahahahahaha, no, you were an a$$hole. You libtard whiners think everyone should do as you say and get mad when someone doesn't. It's clear you were one of the no kids left behind who was given a participation trophy for showing up. Get up out of your mommy's house and stop bitching.
@Jeremiah Welch Unlike you I have a life and don't have time for constantly posting on social media. You ACT like a libtard!!!!!! YOU made it political...I pointed out you act like a dumb ass libtard with your whining and environment BS. Go back and read the comments....YOU were the first to call a name. I just finished it. I have things to do. Get a life and stop being a big pu$$.
I'll definitely try this one at home. I would just have to adjust it for the size of two German Shepherds and a mid-size Labrador mix. Minute 3:50 btw was hilarious thanks again bud
I am having a hard time finding the right pavers to make the circle. Any suggestions? The ones at Lowe's and Home Depot would make a fire pit-sized hole!!!
It’s funny, it never smells except when it gets about half full and I take my garden hose and with a high-pressure nozzle I stir up all the crap and fill the hole with water and then it smells for about a half hour but you put the lid on and it doesn’t anymore. I add a little enzyme drain cleaner, I don’t know how good an idea that is, and then fill it with water again and I get over a year with one 70 pound dog.
It will drain into the soil naturally. I think it’s a good thing with the water because it causes all the waist to Liquify and settle bottom into the bottom of the hole. I have filled my pit with water with the garden hose and added some enzyme drain cleaner in an attempt to increase the decomposition of the waste.
I do it a couple of times a summer. I do it more as it gets full so I can get a week or so more out of it. I fill it near the top, careful it can be stinky.
Now if you could train the damn things to shit in it, you could make em all fancy.. put a little waterfall and underground stream. Have the nicest poo pole on the block.. people’d ask, “ fucks at?” N you could say “poo pole”.. mmhmm
I found them at a landscaping yard. If the ring is unavailable try putting long narrow bricks in a square and see if you can create a 4” hole in the center.
Those were from some circle kits of brick pavers. I guess they aren't used much anymore so hard to find. If you can find some 5" x 10" you can make a box w a 5" hole if you lay them correctly.
That is a tough question, I would stay 8' from the garden and the trees just for good measure although that is only my opinion, no facts available to me....
There any benefit to this besides picking it up and throwing in the garbage? just not sure why someone would want to put dog waste all over their property.
I have been putting dog ways back in the earth for over 40 years. The poop holes have been all over my yard with actually no benefit or damage because the grass is not especially greener over where the poop hole was nor has anything died because of it. My point is why deal with the poop in a bag in my hands when I can just drop it in the ground.
Do you just put the poop into the hole and leave it there? or do you have to add enzymes or stuff like that to it? Also, could you add other organic stuff to compost in there like some veggies wastes? Would that help the decomposition or would it, on the other hand, just ruin it?
I rarely add drain cleaning powder or septic enzyme and then flood the hole with the garden hose. The water helps liquify the waste and compacts it deeper. The enzymes can't hurt so I do use them. There is no room for composting stuff, I'm lucky to get about 2 years out of a hole.
@@MrHardware1 Hey I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier! I followed you instructions and made my own system, with a little modifications here and there to fit my yard better. Let's see how it goes!
I think poop will break down faster and with less smell if you add some carbon to go with it. I plan to add a handful of leaves with each poop. Read around though. I'm not an expert on this. This will obviously affect your storage space, but I'm okay digging a hole every year instead of every two years
Thanks fot this idea! I was trying to find ideas and they were mostly buying. product or some elaborte contraption...I just want simple & good for the environment. Hubby will also be happy to that it doesnt take alot of effort😊😊😊
@Jeremiah Welch Hey Jerry- you've posted this same comment 100 times. You've gotten in one argument with a bunch of name calling. For those of us looking for ideas for our pet waste, you seen to have some ideas. Why don't you (1) tell us why this is bad or (2) give us an alternative? Everyone watching this is a thinking human being. We are making decisions about pet waste. Give us some facts if you have them. If not, you will understand why people are ignoring you.
Lead by example. You should begin pooping in the hole with the dog watching. If the dog isn't interested, have a bowl of chilli in your non-wiping hand. Give the dog a scoop of chilli every time poop hits the hole. The dog will associate pooping in a hole with delicious chilli. After a few years you can stop pooping in the hole and the dog will automatically assume if he poops in the hole like you did, he will get chilli. It worked for my 85lb Teacup Yorkie.
No, remove the bricks and as you dig a new hole next to the old one you use some of the dirt and the sod to cover the old one up. I have over a dozen poop holes around my yard all side by each as I needed to make new ones.
@Jeremiah Welch The poop decomposes in the ground. I do not plant vegetables or carrots there... The grass is greener there, the earth is richer, it is very sustainable and unless you eat carrots or vegetable grown there it is very sanitary. In 10 years someone that digs to plant a bush there will find very rich soil.
Great idea, I had the doggie dooley for years, I decide to try to make this but already hit a snag, no one sells the individual pieces to a circle kit, Called all my local resources no luck and just got off the phone with EP Henry and they will not break up a circle kit and sell individual pieces. Oh well
so I tried to do this... but then I found out you have to buy a "kit" it's $800 to $1200 for a circle kit. I can not find just the corning stones anywhere! Please help!
See if you can find long narrow patio blocks, arrange them in a pattern that will leave any size hole in the center. I got the invention from a guy that just dug a hole and used a garbage can lid to cover it. My circle is cool but here in Florida I used rectangular bricks and spaced the center ones out so there was a hole. Then used a 12 x 12 patio stone to cover it.
Couldn't you also buy a $5 bag of concrete? Build a cheap circular mold from a bucket or lid and place another circle in the middle, like a cup. Remove once hardened.
Wish we could find a poop hole big enough to hold all of our weekly waste 🐕💩💩💩
4 года назад+1
You can rotate spots in your yard to just completely bury your dogs weekly or bi-weekly waste. It’s great exercise and a good way to amend your ornamental shrubs and plants.
No enzyme tablets/powder to break down the waste? No pouring water on it? You just drop the dog waste in the hole and place the brick cover over it? That's it?
@@Julie-z6q Yup, although I do flood the hole w/water to compact the waste down and get another month before I dig a new hole. And yes, when can I add some drain cleaning enzymes in and flood w/ water.
@@MrHardware1 Thank you for replying. I've been using "compostable bags" but just found out that they're not compostable in landfills because the conditions aren't right for decomposition, so back to the drawing board! This is what I'm going to end up doing, but I wanted to make sure it's not harming anything. Thanks again : )
Hello again, so I was just reading about how this method of disposal is kind of useless in the winter because of the cold conditions not being able to break down the waste efficiently. Do you use another method during winter, or do you live in a warmer climate or do you just carry on with this regardless???? Thanks : )
@@Julie-z6q I think you’re overthinking it. Fill a hole w/dog poop, once it’s full, add dirt on top, add the sod from the next hole being dug, tamp it flush, use the next hole. I don’t care when it breaks down, I know it eventually will. I’ve gone around my garage, hole next hole through 3 dogs, over 20 years and you’ll never tell that I ever did it.
In 15 years, I have yet to encounter either. The only time there is a smell is when I fill the hole with water to help break down the waste. Only time. Blair
@@ogtimmy2355 When it gets half full or I happen to be out in the yard with the hose, no rules except the more the better. The enzyme is the same, I keep it in the garage near the hole so I use it about 3 times a year.
Better believe my dogs would dig that hole right up
4 года назад+1
I had an open hole, about 2ft deep. After dumping the waste in there, I would cover the poop with a layer of grass clippings to prevent the flies, no lid like this gentleman’s idea. None of my 7 dogs, diggers or not, wanted to get anywhere close to that hole lol
As I study the options, as our 75 lb lab is a factory, every where you read says, "Don't just bury dog poop as the bacterial run-off is horrendous. Easy idea but not helping the waterway behind your home.
If the poop hole was within a few feet of the water I could be causing some contamination. However 30 feet of soil is more that enough to purify any bacteria burried below grade.
It's not fecal bacteria that is the problem, it is the excess "nutrients" such as Nitrogen and Phosphorous compounds. Runoff can cause eutrophication of lakes and ponds. The nutrients will be reduced by bacteria that lives in soil better if the poop is, well, if it is IN the soil as opposed to on top of it. More common causes of nutrient rich runoff are plant fertilizer, whether from coated grass seed, miracle grow, or farms, as well as wastewater from septic leach fields and treatment plants. If it is a concern, one could always add beneficial bacteria (septic treatment) to the hole.
We wanted a large family, in face my husbands exact words when people asked us how many kids we were going to have... he said a "litter" lol... though it was not God's plan for us, and very blessed to have our one son. We feel our hearts with the "litter" my husband spoke of with fur babies. We have a box pit, mini dachshund, dachshund mix, and new boxer pit mix puppy that is my 7 1/2 year old son's first dog. they have their own space, and we were using bags, but it is sooo wasteful with that many pups. we will end up with 2 large dogs, and 2 small. I rotate poop holes once a year, and use the doggie doodley digestive septic tank mix with water... would you think that would work for us?
I have been digging these holes for the lives of 4 dogs. That's 48 human years. Some holes last 1 1/2 years, some only lasted 6 months. Too much waste and you have to dig more holes more often. The best part is you dig them 1' from the last one and work your way around the garage. Best you can do is dig a couple and decide if the hole is worth it for you. Blair
What is the purpose of digging poop whole if I am paying for garbage removal. Plz some body plz tell me why this is logical and not a waste of my time - money -energy???
No poop in a bag stinking up the garage, the hole is at the pooping location, and I'm recycling. Not much money is involved and it does take energy, but boy is it handy.

Of all the DIY Puppy poop hole I’ve watched this is the BEST! Thanks Mr. Hardware 😃
Now this is what I'm talking about 👍 I'm not digging in a full size dustbin. The best ideas are always the simplest.
Winner, winner! I’ve watched several videos of of doggie septic waste disposal systems. Yours is the best. I’ll be doing this
The last ingredient would be some magical trick whereby fido can actually find the hole and aim for it!
LOL wouldn't that be perfect.

This is goals! And as weird as this is gonna sound, it’s one of my favorite RUclips videos of all time. Right up there with drunk cowboy.

Jeremiah Welch Wait wha’the?! Since when did dog poop ruin the land we live on? That’s just silly.
Great idea! I'm doing it!! I'm also going to buy a pair of those steel-toed sandals!!
I need me a pair of steel toed sandals. Thanks for sharing this idea, got three dogs and this will be excellent to implement in the yard this spring.
As an electrician I have access to 9 foot long post hole diggers. That would be a deep one and make one hole last a very long time! Great video. Good job!
Wow, I could use a 9' post hole digger. Is it an auger or clam shells?
Mr. Hardware Clam Shell style. Fiberglass handles. I heard they were very expensive.

Excellent in all ways! Thank you!

Genius! Thank you for the video!
excellent poop hole, thanks for the idea.
Gotta love it!! Best one yet!
Charles Arnold Was that you doing the camera work?
We sell steel toe'd flip flops!
Thanks
According to what I read, is that dog waste is NOT to be buried by gardens and water sources because of the pathogens.
That’s a beautiful property. Well done! Can this be used for cat waste as well?
I’m sure anything that breaks down and isn’t hazardous
Great idea, but do you notice any foul smell when in the area of the dog poop hole?
It's still poop.... ,🤦♂️
If you add wood shavings or dry leaves, it would help cover up the smell. It'd be kind of like a dog version of a composting toilet.
I am hoping the dogs can be trained to use the holes by themselves :)
I need that for my cats! That would be good to keep out the moles and other pests.
@Jeremiah Welch No different than it rotting on top of the ground. Run along.
@Jeremiah Welch Awh, the crybaby is triggered. Don't you have a safe space to hide in?
@Jeremiah Welch Nice? Bahahahahaha, no, you were an a$$hole. You libtard whiners think everyone should do as you say and get mad when someone doesn't.

this is actually really smart
I'll definitely try this one at home. I would just have to adjust it for the size of two German Shepherds and a mid-size Labrador mix. Minute 3:50 btw was hilarious thanks again bud
Great idea. HOw long does one hole last and how deep did you dig?
I get about a year or more out of a hole. I try to gig them about 3ft deep.
Is there any odor other than when you open it? Want to do but my wife is concerned about the smell. Thx!
I'm surprised that there is almost zero odor. It only stinks when I fill the hole with water (almost to the top) to help compact the waste.
you can add a little septic starter enzyme to get the process started. that should eliminate much of the odor as well.
Or are there any flies collecting in area and near your back door?
Add some sawdust too it even couple weeks
@@Godresponds I was thinking the same thing (flies)
I am having a hard time finding the right pavers to make the circle. Any suggestions? The ones at Lowe's and Home Depot would make a fire pit-sized hole!!!
Try long thin bricks and see if you can’t get four to go together and leaving an opening in the middle.
Good idea but I have three dogs.. Even with a piece of slate on top, can you smell the poop?
It’s funny, it never smells except when it gets about half full and I take my garden hose and with a high-pressure nozzle I stir up all the crap and fill the hole with water and then it smells for about a half hour but you put the lid on and it doesn’t anymore. I add a little enzyme drain cleaner, I don’t know how good an idea that is, and then fill it with water again and I get over a year with one 70 pound dog.
Why do you need to keep moving it? Does it fill up? Just curious since the pre-made ones stay in the same spot forever, at least I think?
Despite putting enzyme and water in the hole they still fill up, eventually.
Can u train them to poop in there?
I can't, but I bet people are out there that can.
My cat shits in the hole perfectly well. Cats have great aim and are very skilled in dexterity 👍
Do you add any septic waste enzymes?
I do, sometimes household drain enzymes, sometimes septic treatment products.
So I have a question. We had heavy rain last night and the hole filled with water. What do you suggest we do to drain it
It will drain into the soil naturally. I think it’s a good thing with the water because it causes all the waist to Liquify and settle bottom into the bottom of the hole. I have filled my pit with water with the garden hose and added some enzyme drain cleaner in an attempt to increase the decomposition of the waste.
I need some of those OSHA approved Sandals!
Make sure they are steel toed!
Great idea thanks for sharing, how often do I fill the whole with water, also how high should I fill the hole with water?
I do it a couple of times a summer. I do it more as it gets full so I can get a week or so more out of it. I fill it near the top, careful it can be stinky.
I need a pair of those steel toed flip flops
Now if you could train the damn things to shit in it, you could make em all fancy.. put a little waterfall and underground stream. Have the nicest poo pole on the block.. people’d ask, “ fucks at?” N you could say “poo pole”.. mmhmm
This is cool but is there a puppy poop smell?
very little if at all
I love this but I can't find a way to buy 1 ring of pavers! Where do you get them?
I found them at a landscaping yard. If the ring is unavailable try putting long narrow bricks in a square and see if you can create a 4” hole in the center.
Where did you get the brick? My local Lowes doesn't have something that makes that small of a hole.
Those were from some circle kits of brick pavers. I guess they aren't used much anymore so hard to find. If you can find some 5" x 10" you can make a box w a 5" hole if you lay them correctly.
Can you teach your dog to actually go in the hole? Rather than scooping it yourself?
I know someone out there is doing that training, but the Finn dog refuses, so far.... Blair
How far do you think would be safe to put a big disposal hole from veggie plants or fruit trees?
That is a tough question, I would stay 8' from the garden and the trees just for good measure although that is only my opinion, no facts available to me....
I would recommend keeping this hole away from plants/veggies/fruits you plan to eat. There are potential pathogens that could contaminate your garden.
@@lorahassani7728 Yeah, they asked what a safe distance was lol
How long DID it take to train your dog to poop in the hole?
I have to use a shovel, I keep the hole covered so the dog doesn't break a leg running around the yard.
Good idea!
Does anyone do this for cats?
I can't find these pavers is their a specific name or brand
Try putting 4 long narrow pavers together to create the hole. Mine are obsolete now, sorry
How well does this work in winter?
It works great, just is hard to make a new one once the ground freezes. I go into the fall with a deep one to get me through the winter.
Do you keep moving the poop hole every once in a while like you showed in this video?
I dig a new one when the old one is almost full. No sense in doing it sooner unless you need a workout.
Have any problems with rodents snooping around the poop hole?
Not yet, however I understand rats like dog poop. I'm waiting because someone will add that issue soon if it is an issue.
Magnificent.
There any benefit to this besides picking it up and throwing in the garbage? just not sure why someone would want to put dog waste all over their property.

Ocasionally I use septic or home drain cleaning enzymes. Filling with water when the hole is half filled several times really helps.

Also, could you add other organic stuff to compost in there like some veggies wastes? Would that help the decomposition or would it, on the other hand, just ruin it?

No enzyme tablets/powder to break down the waste? No pouring water on it? You just drop the dog waste in the hole and place the brick cover over it? That's it?
@@Julie-z6q Yup, although I do flood the hole w/water to compact the waste down and get another month before I dig a new hole. And yes, when can I add some drain cleaning enzymes in and flood w/ water.
@@MrHardware1 Thank you for replying. I've been using "compostable bags" but just found out that they're not compostable in landfills because the conditions aren't right for decomposition, so back to the drawing board! This is what I'm going to end up doing, but I wanted to make sure it's not harming anything. Thanks again : )
Hello again, so I was just reading about how this method of disposal is kind of useless in the winter because of the cold conditions not being able to break down the waste efficiently. Do you use another method during winter, or do you live in a warmer climate or do you just carry on with this regardless???? Thanks : )
@@Julie-z6q I think you’re overthinking it. Fill a hole w/dog poop, once it’s full, add dirt on top, add the sod from the next hole being dug, tamp it flush, use the next hole. I don’t care when it breaks down, I know it eventually will. I’ve gone around my garage, hole next hole through 3 dogs, over 20 years and you’ll never tell that I ever did it.
heavy doody glue.
Thats a good idea, but.... what about any smell and flies?
In 15 years, I have yet to encounter either. The only time there is a smell is when I fill the hole with water to help break down the waste. Only time. Blair
@@ogtimmy2355 When it gets half full or I happen to be out in the yard with the hose, no rules except the more the better. The enzyme is the same, I keep it in the garage near the hole so I use it about 3 times a year.
Next to water like that he could have also built a catapult.
Goodness
Best video!!!!!
Thank you, Blair and Tim
The question is how to get them to poop there
I prefer a 'floral' shovel. We often call them a womans' shovel. Easy to use, Blair
pooper scooper
Could you make it bigger? Say for two 100lb dogs?
Sure, if the soil is stable enough and your post-hole digger has long enough handles. And you are young enough to dig it. lol
Great thank you!
Your "Puppy Poop Hole" is exquisite and WAY less pricey than 'Doggie Doolie's' poop compost system ($60-70$).
I’m making one of these next weekend. Then I’m gonna try to train my dog to nudoe into the hole.
Be careful with your Hosta! Ouch!
Better believe my dogs would dig that hole right up
I had an open hole, about 2ft deep. After dumping the waste in there, I would cover the poop with a layer of grass clippings to prevent the flies, no lid like this gentleman’s idea. None of my 7 dogs, diggers or not, wanted to get anywhere close to that hole lol
Lol my dogs’ poop is too big to fit in that little hole
nice channel
Thank yoy mr hardwear i
Awesome
As I study the options, as our 75 lb lab is a factory, every where you read says, "Don't just bury dog poop as the bacterial run-off is horrendous. Easy idea but not helping the waterway behind your home.
If the poop hole was within a few feet of the water I could be causing some contamination. However 30 feet of soil is more that enough to purify any bacteria burried below grade.
It's not fecal bacteria that is the problem, it is the excess "nutrients" such as Nitrogen and Phosphorous compounds. Runoff can cause eutrophication of lakes and ponds. The nutrients will be reduced by bacteria that lives in soil better if the poop is, well, if it is IN the soil as opposed to on top of it. More common causes of nutrient rich runoff are plant fertilizer, whether from coated grass seed, miracle grow, or farms, as well as wastewater from septic leach fields and treatment plants. If it is a concern, one could always add beneficial bacteria (septic treatment) to the hole.
Zsa Zsa Umbra For wastewater issues just at an old or cheap beer to help, just like a septic tank.
Tallulah TwoSocks How does that work? and I don't mean the tab top lol. Like, how does that help the nitrification cycle?
It introduces yeast. It’s not proven but it seemed to help my septic tank. So I was just thinking it was worth a try in this application.

I just throw my dog shit over the fence into my neighbor's yard. Problem takes care of itself as this method requires zero labor from me. 😉👍
Did it ever occur to you that your neighbor just throws it back over the fence?
Like you have a yard, your user name is "Scrotum Monster". Nice try, kid. Thanks for trolling.
That shit is just too funny
We wanted a large family, in face my husbands exact words when people asked us how many kids we were going to have... he said a "litter" lol... though it was not God's plan for us, and very blessed to have our one son. We feel our hearts with the "litter" my husband spoke of with fur babies. We have a box pit, mini dachshund, dachshund mix, and new boxer pit mix puppy that is my 7 1/2 year old son's first dog. they have their own space, and we were using bags, but it is sooo wasteful with that many pups. we will end up with 2 large dogs, and 2 small. I rotate poop holes once a year, and use the doggie doodley digestive septic tank mix with water... would you think that would work for us?
I have been digging these holes for the lives of 4 dogs. That's 48 human years. Some holes last 1 1/2 years, some only lasted 6 months. Too much waste and you have to dig more holes more often. The best part is you dig them 1' from the last one and work your way around the garage.
Best you can do is dig a couple and decide if the hole is worth it for you. Blair
Osha approved! Lol
Ewww. Dog waste makes humans sick, I would not put it in the ground, thats how you get poison water
What is the purpose of digging poop whole if I am paying for garbage removal.
Plz some body plz tell me why this is logical and not a waste of my time - money -energy???
No poop in a bag stinking up the garage, the hole is at the pooping location, and I'm recycling. Not much money is involved and it does take energy, but boy is it handy.
You have some serious issues.
Just throw the crap in the trash can! Way too much work.....plus,guessin has a powerful stank!
This is a horrible idea.
