For those of you who didn't remove the grass, what did your ground look like in the fall when you took down the pool. I'm asking this because about 4 summers ago when my son was 3, I got sick of emptying this little pool he had and left it in the same spot for 2 weeks. When I lifted it up, it had rotten, yellow grass and maggots underneath. It was disgusting and smelled horrible horrible horrible like a pig pen. We had a party that week for my son's bd and no one could go in the back yard because you could smell it from the door.

What tool did you use to remove the grass???

Thanks, Teena
