ey guys,

We just bought an unfenced plot to build a house. Quickly realized everyone in the neighborhood let their dogs do their business there for years – there was dog poop everywhere.

Without thinking, I just buried most of it while clearing the lot. Now I'm wondering if I messed up regarding parasite eggs in the soil. We have a toddler and a dog (who actually had severe gut parasites before, so we're pretty paranoid about it).

What's the best move here to make the ground safe?

• Did I screw up by burying it?
• Should we deep plow the whole thing? Scrape off and haul away the topsoil? Or just bring in a thick layer of fresh dirt to cover it all?

Let me know if I'm totally overthinking this. Thanks!
