I am using Muriatic acid which will go into the ground from cleaning a

with water to neutralise run off. Would Baking Soda work?


Household ammonia might be your best choice. *You might see some

A little plain old garden lime (ground limestone) would probably be
the best choice, you might get a bit of dead turf where the runoff is
heavy, the lime will correct that.
