Rather than becoming a pollutant, dog or other pet poo can become a nutrient for your garden, by being composted in your backyard.
Pet owners are generally encouraged to collect and dispose of pet poo using plastic / compostable bags, which is way better than leaving it on the sidewalk when you walk your pet.
But this is not the best solution, because ultimately the dog poo ends up going to landfill, contributing to our ongoing problem of waste accumulation.
EnsoPet is the meeting point of responsible pet ownership and sustainability. It is an ingenious in-ground composting system specially designed for composting pet waste.
Whether you have a dog, cat, rabbit, or guinea pig, EnsoPet offers a hygienic and eco-friendly solution to manage their waste. It not only keeps your yard clean but also contributes to soil enrichment on a microbial level, while returning carbon to the soil.
At the heart of the system are two essential components:
This unit consists of four identical sections made from recycled plastic, which can be easily assembled to create a bottomless cylinder.
Once assembled, it measures 35cm wide at the base, 40cm high, and 18.5cm wide at the top/lid. This in-ground composter discreetly sits below ground level, requiring minimal space in your garden or lawn.
The EnsoPet Starter is the catalyst that accelerates the breakdown of pet waste. It is made in Australia with a mixture of wheat bran rice husks and sawdust infused with a group of beneficial microorganisms. These microorganisms, including lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, photosynthetic bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi. These microbes accelerate the breakdown of the waste, eliminate odours, help remediate any pathogens in the waste and ultimately contribute to a healthier soil and a more beautiful garden.
EnsoPet Starter is sold in plastic bags or fully compostable hessian sacks.
