Default Polluted soil repair?

Hi folks,

I wonder if someone can give me some advice. I'd finished some
painting using water based paints and had just washes the brushes,
etc, in a bucket of water. I, inadvertently, poured this water over
a patch of soil in the garden (yes, yes, I know, I know) and now
I'm on vision only with SWMBO as she's complaining that the soil is
now polluted.

What's the score? How long would it take for the soil to repair
itself? Is there anything I can do to help it out?

Any assistance gratefully received.


Well, has it killed off any weeds? That might indicate if it is
harmful or not to plant life.


Heh, I'd only turned over the soil a couple of days ago, so no weeds as
yet.
