What a pong!
Just emptied and removed my 12" easy up pool from the garden
which was sat on some tarpaulin The ground below was grass lawn, with soil raked on top to level the ground prior to the erection of the pool. Now its removed and the soil is breathing again there is a huge whiff accross the neighbourhood The grass below the soil I guess has composted and it smells like I've just fertilised the whole area with Cow dung! Any clues (apart from wait a few weeks) how to reduce or combat the smell ? TIA -- Vass '02 YZF-R1 |

TIA Either spike quite deep with a fork liberally and gently scarify to allow smell to dissipate quicker and get the air to the roots. or Remove area and re-turf. A light scattering of soft sand with seed in, and some clean potting compost will assist in getting the grass replenished slightly quicker but don't expect results overnight., |

Ive got one of these and had the same problem last year, the smell
will go quite quickly and you will be surprised how quickly the grass comes back even though it has been covered for so long. Just hang in there and do nothing!
