Doggie Did Doo where my veg bed will be

The difference is really that horses and cows are vegetarians. It's the critturs that eat meat that can have the nasty effect. I wouldn't try composting these. (The faeces that is - I'd happily compost the cat that keeps adding nitrogen to my environment!)

Hi Martyn
I had exactly the same problem January 2006 - my back garden had been a wilderness for 10 years and used as Dexters loo for 3 or 4 years!
I took it one step at a time - and I insisted that the top layer of grass and all other unmentionables were taken off and put in a skip.
Fortunately my OH helped with this bit!
I was determined that nothing that Dexter had deposited would be left behind - I wasn't going to be eating veg in anything like that!
It worked - it was hard work, but once we had the "top layer" off I divided it up into sections and dug each one in turn.
Just take it easy and divide your plot into sections and to each one at a time.
I didnt use any chemicals etc - and Im still here to tell the tail (sorry - Dexters spelling not mine!)
Good luck - looking forward to hearing how you get on.#
