    Hi, lonnieferris!

    Is the affected soil going to have anything planted in it?

    Thanks!

    The smell will eventually go away. It will just take some time.

    You might want to try water mixed with a lot of laundry or even dish detergent to try to disperse it.

    Could you have burned it off?

    Or dig up the dirt into a wheelbarrow and burn it off in a safe location.
