We didn't need to use any killing agent.

I thought the same Judd. Do the job in no time instead of you faffing about. Only thing is, you'd probably need a small skip as well then, to dump all the turf bits in?

No way would I let my dogs inhale that, or walk anywhere near it till it was bone dry and preferably rained on as well.
