Other than killing weeds on the fenceline, there's another

garden use. If
your tomatoes/potato crop location has that contagion that

requires at least
two years of non-growth to allow the contagion to run its

course, then pour
the gas in the area. 2 years later, and alls good

irregardless.

If you'd eat vegetables grown where gasoline was dumped,
MBTE and all, you are a far more "trusting" man than I.

Why? Edible foods are grown in soil with fertilizers derived from
petroleum, or some form of manure everyday. The only difference here
between petroleum derived fertilizer and this is that am not paying for it.
Mother nature is doing the chemical breakdown of the petroleum product.
Just because its not a common practice, doesn't mean its not viable.

Anyone who's done backyard location car work for years in a location in the
backyard, then abandoned that location has seen the results from the oil and
gasoline waste. Similar to the grass growing greener over a leaky septic
tank or leech field. Fenceline waste oil dumping is the same. Takes a
couple of years to recover, but the results are the same.
