Lawn mower and oil spills
How do you clean up a little oil spill from the lawn mower in the
garden? Hosing with water or some other cleaning products? And what if the shed smell of more oil spills? THanks Mike |

Remove the soil in the area and dispose of it properly. Call your local area waste management and they will tell who where to take the contaminated soil. Or you can simply burn contaminated soil in a wood fire. That will remove the oil and leave the soil in the ashes to put back in your garden with the other ashes. An "oiled" shed is a fire hazard. Be extra careful not to spill any oil. Actually motor oil is very difficult to catch on fire. Try burning some sometime. However it destroys leather and rubber shoes, tires, and pollutes ground water if it ever gets to it. This oil can be absorbed by kitty litter and disposed up properly. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman |

Just don't burn it in your house oven or expensive grill :)
Until you've burnt dirt, you've no idea just how bad the smell is! John "S. M. Henning" wrote in message news Phisherman wrote: Remove the soil in the area and dispose of it properly.
