How deep of a hole do you need to dig?

I think we did 3 to 4 feet deep or so maybe more but anyway about it it didn't work for us at all. There was so much clay in the ground nothing was breaking up down below like it was suppose too

Is this difficult to mow over or around the lid?

Lid plastic I wouldn’t want to put tires on it also the tab to open lid takes approximately 3 to 4 inches of clearance to step on yo open it so I would say more around yes over no

Does it stink when closed?

The Doggy Dooley does not have an odor when used properly. I put sand in the very bottom of ours and gravel on top of that with just over a foot above this in empty space before the lid. Once a week you throw an enzyme tablet in the hole and then water it. We water ours every other day. The poo breaks down and then becomes sediment that rinses into the rocks/sand and then leaches into the ground. There's a tablet alternative that is an enzyme powder that can be used. The Doggy Dooley is way more awesome than a crap can etc.... The ground can be tested for functionality by filling the hole with X amount of water.... if it drains out within 24-48 hours, then the hole will leach properly and you should have no problems with odor. Anyone that uses this setup and complains about an odor, must not have set it up properly or dug the hole deep enough.... or have a hole that doesn't leach properly. Not using the correct #of enzyme tablets per amount of Dogs/ volume of poo? I'm sure that there are multiple possibilities..... but I don't have any issues with ours. Hope this helps!
