Underestimated the SMELL upon take down - Suggestions please!

[sneakykitty]

Enjoyed the heck out of my little Intex 10x30 pool this summer, but it was time to take it down for the fall/winter. Boy did we underestimate the horrid smell under the tarp of the small patch of Bermuda grass that decayed. We thought most had died prior to leveling and laying sand, but we were wrong! Now we are left with the most disgusting smell. It makes me nauseated to go outside, . I threw away the tarp, the liner itself did not smell and was cleaned and stored. Now what the heck do I do with the ground that smells horrible? Any and all suggestions welcome! Thank you

Sneakykitty, welcome to TFP

Try tossing some lime from the garden section of Lowes down.

Thank you YippeeSkippy!!! I tried Lime last night after digging to turn the soil over to introduce some oxygen back in! It already smells a thousand times better! Still has an odor, but much better!
