The spot I picked turned out to have poor drainage. Some workers dropped a lot of soil around it and into the spaces between the rocks around the container. Then our neighbour had a plumbing disaster and the dog loo was in the path of a lot of 'water' that came on to our property. Although I tried to follow instructions about flushing it out regularly and so on, eventually it just filled up with 'sludge'. A couple of months ago I dug a hole in the garden, buried the contents, and located a new site at around the highest point in the garden. I've started digging a new hole, but need to dig down another foot or more. Meanwhile winter got in the way. Thanks for asking. So far my verdict is: ummm, not sure.
