So that I’m clear, I’m ***not*** thinking about pouring my used motor oil all over the yard. But I ***did*** think about pouring out a small jar of unused olive oil in the dirt. I’m 85 to 90 percent sure I’ve heard that’s a no-no, but I’m wondering why. What exactly happens when oil hits dirt? Shouldn’t the soil bacteria chew it up just like they chew up everything else organic? And would the same thing happen to crude oil?

I used to pour my bacon grease in a section of dirt in my garden that didn’t have anything planted yet. Everything around it started flourishing and when I did eventually plant something it flourished as well. Could be a coincidence of course
