If you ever have an oil spill or really anything that isn’t an elemental poison (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) in an area near where you’re growing food drench it with molasses and water or, if it’s a large area, spread dry molasses and water it in. It will boost the soil biota which will break the oil down into its basic, harmless elements. In your case you could mix it with the cat litter or sawdust that you use to soak up the oil and it will render it harmless pretty quickly.

It feels good to save money and help the environment. I like to tell people my clothes dryer is powered by the wind and the sun. If they don't know what I'm talking about, they ask where they can get one.....
