Pickling water and rehydrating water

What do you do with all your pickling & rehydrating water after you use it I use safte acid so I add baking soda and then dump in the road. I am sick of hauling bucket after bucket out to the road.

Look back thru the tanning.

When you neutralize pickle, checked with pH meter or paper, the chemicals return to their basic salts, i.e. chemistry class in high school, it is then safe to dump on the yard. I have dumped it on the yard for several years, the worms seem very heatlhy and the grass is always greener there, the neutrence left from the pickle and tanning process, the only thing I would not dump would be the chrome tans, use a differnt area each time as salt can build up.


Saftee acid

Correct me if I am wrong but I think Saftee acid turns into fertilizer after a little while. I
think it mentions this in all of the adds I have seen for it.
