I do the same as Gatorfreak and my grass looks just fine. However when I was building my stand and canopy the mineral spirits that spilled on the grass killed it and has yet to recover.

Why not try dumping a little bit on a small patch of grass and see what happens.

Typically if yo udump it on your lawn it probably will nto do much cause the environemnt and outside is a big ecosystem. But if you dump enough or you dump it in a housplant where the salt can nto ddisperse I bet you the plant will die.

This is common sense people.

Of all the things to worry about when it comes to money, I woudl think water would be the least of yoru concearns.

Take it from someone who deals with salt on the roads 6 months of the year, it is not good for the grass.
