Maybe the dog died and they had to get rid of it? Probably has to do with readily available nutrients.

I do believe it helps to feed the soil micro-organisms in the soil...creating a larger healthier population to help break down the organics to available nutrients and assist in the roots ability to absorb them......G

Sorry, I meant I put it in for next year already, but it does work, it creates worms and has many nutrients.

I dont think it creates worms, mabey attracts them and feeds them. lol

Just a thought if you spread dog food around your patch won't you attractt dogs that might dig up your patch looking for the food.lol

i used vitamin C enriched goldfish pellets this past year. i'll use it again. dog and cat food is a great idea, especially if you have some sort of a composting program where you can break it down a bit first.
