To start with the majority of times there will not be any problem with picking up and disposing of the feces properly and washing the rest away. To be on the safe side, take a small sample to your local vet and have them check it for disease. If any is found they can tell you how to treat the area to make it safe for the kids to play.

Yes they do work. Worm compost bins work faster. Try this site http://www.wormsdirectuk.co.uk Worms dont like certain things and meat and bones arent a good idea as it encourages rats.

Yes, they work really well.
For best results site it on soil or grass so the worms can get into it. Put in all your uncooked vegetable and fruit kitchen waste, tea bags, coffee grinds, all your garden waste, old flowers, clippings, leaves and grass, (this is green waste) then add ripped up cardboard such as egg boxes and cereal boxesand shredded paper, (this is brown waste) and a bucket full of water every couple of weeks, (don’t make it too wet but neither does it want to be too dry).
As long as you have a balance of green, brown and wet then this will be a good combination to produce decent compost.
Have fun.

Yes, they work – but so does throwing the stuff in a heap. If you turn it, it will "cook" faster, but even if you simply drop everything on the pile, you will still get compost…it’ll just take a little longer.

Yes they do work. Put any compostable material in them. Don't put too much grass in though, it won't work properly. Leaves, potato peelings, weeds, flowers, put them in. Just leave it for a few months and it will rot down good enough to dig in the garden.

Thank you. I will try to either do a small raised bed or maybe do just a few pots of veggies.

Hey Ray! When does an orange tree start to show bark, I have one right now for about a year so far and it has this brown-bark like texture forming at the bottom/middish regions of the plant. Is this bark?
