Sounds like the next time you visit your parents - ALL of you need to go visit the neighbors and let them know that everytime they have a party, there is a pile your parents yard.

Explain to them that this is totally UNACCEPTABLE, and if it happens again the police WILL be called.

Perhaps the neighbors do not know that there partiers are doing this? Telling them lets them know FOR SURE that it is happening and since they do know it (if they didn't before) it's their problem to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I would think calling law enforcement would create tension in the neighborhood.. #1. I would approach the neighbors and ask politely if they realize that thier guests are using your yard as a potty. and #2, go with the motion activated sprinklers as a deterant to future visits. 1 guy coming back all wet would certainly make the others ask what happened.

Talk to them about setting up an additional toilet in their basement or something, they could even look into setting up a composting toilet and proper composting of human wastes. It isn't OK if they use their own yard for a toilet, especially if you have a well, human fecal matter in a serious contaminant of ground water, ecoli, fecal coliform.... When waterways are closed to fishing/swimming it's often due to cso outflow and human waste contamination. This stuff can make you really really sick (as I'm sure you can imagine LOL) If they don't comply, call the health department.

hmmmmmmmmm
i have poison ivy berries i can donate to the cause......

[QUOTE=tallpines]My parents (age 81 and 87) have lived in the same house for 55 years.

Naturally the rest of the neighbors are having a difficult time separating this foul habit from the differnce in skin color of the perpetrators.


If the other neighbors are aware of this problem, then it's time for the neighbors to organize and present the problem enmass to the public health authorities.

Kinda OT but I received a delivery of "free" wood chips yesterday along with a bonus neatly tied up in a plastic bag. Tell me, how do you dispose of such? I found an empty chip bag on the front lawn someone had discarded, stuck it in and placed it in some bushes at the street. Eventually it will blow away and become someone else's problem. Tag! You're it!

compost pile, katy.

Anyone who would find this sort of thing "acceptable" is going to be either too stupid (trash) or too uncaring (trash) to be swayed by an 81yo woman telling them it's gross and to please stop it -- and something tells me that your Mum isn't the type to confront them about it, or she already would have. It's either entirely acceptable "culturally" to them -- in which case they won't understand and will continue to do it regardless of your mother's request, or they really don't give a "carp" (pun intented ) and will continue to do it because they just don't care, regardless of your mother's request. My point is, if they were the type to stop doing it, they wouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Someone needs to learn a lesson involving pain (physical or financial). Either you underplant the trees with something REALLY unpleasant, get some big, nasty dogs who like to go for dangly bits, or hit them where it really hurts, and sue for the (professional) cleanup fees.

Trash is trash is trash. Period. Don't expect to change them. And it has NOTHING to do with the color of their skin, and EVERYTHING to do, I suspect, with the socio-economic pit they were raised in. People who have nothing of value, value nothing -- least of all their neighbors right to live without feces strewn about their lawn. They could be white, green or blue -- but if they're raised to not care, they won't care. If they were raised to care, they wouldn't be doing it.

One more thing that comes back to PARENTING There is too little of it in this world, and the government is working at taking away what little is left to those who are actually doing it "right" and raising their children to be respectful adults.

I would put known sources of excrement in it; I've even peed in my garden this year for the sake of science. But this is stranger poo...

If that were me I would be sitting outside in the dark with a hose.

You might find a little bit more poo initially, but it will probably be in a trail headed back to the neighbor's house.

How about 60's? 70's?

Exactly. The Humanure book states that if you are free of disease that your poo will be free of disease, however, if the poo has been "donated" by people who might have any known diseases (think Hepititus C), then the poo can and most probably WILL be contaminated with the pathogens.

Stranger poo, (and most probably third world stranger poo), should most certainly NOT be welcome in anyones compost pile.

Perhaps you could enlighten us as in what culture it is permissible to empty ones bowels on their neighbors property........

That's what I was going to say. Only because it would be way more fun than the prospect of an "Excuse me, could your guests please stop pooping in my yard" visit.

So, kind of a "homesteader bidet"?
