[murdocjunior]

Omg i was mowing my lawn this evening and i was filling up the lawn mower with gasoline and i dropped the gas container on the grass and it spilled on my lawn on accidently will i ever be able to let my sullies back in my front lawn?

well gas has a very low evaporation temp it has prob already evaporated , I would take the smell test tommorrow and see if you can still smell it, you should not be able to, if you can not smell it, it should, I stress should be safe.

 

[murdocjunior]

So if i cant smell the gas its safe to eat?

Can you maybe temporarily rope off the section where the gas was spilled?

 

[murdocjunior]

I guess i could but how long til i could remove the blocking?

" YA MIGHT HAVE TURBO TORTS NOW" ... VROOOOOMMMMM..


Naw ... juss playing .. anyhow should be fine .. although depending on grass type .. will die back .. but new growth will appear soon. If any worries or grass does not grow back... just cut out section and either re sod / seed and re soil spoiled area.

Ok so i shouldnt be worried? Just continue how im doing and i dnt have to block it off?

Well one way to know would just be to burn the area. Grass would grow back very soon and not residue would be left.

I doubt they would eat there if the strong smell remained. Torts only eat things that smell like food....or poop!

 

[murdocjunior]

Yeah i agree to but the smell isnt there anymore so if tgey do eat it will it be harmful?

That is just not true. Maybe sometimes they don't, but sometimes they do.
