Drainage ditch smell

I have a drainage ditch about 100 yds behind my house. With big temperature changes, there is a sulfur smell that comes from it.. Any product I can apply to it to attempt to decrease the smell. It's not awful, but is noticeable for a few hours..

sounds like the result of a temperature inversion

. . . or maybe you should walk up stream and find the source?

So why does it cause a bad smell? Essentially, the air doesn't rise the way it is suppose to, causing smog, pollution or other odors from nearby farms, feed lots and other stinky areas to get trapped at the Earth's surface. The warmer air on top of the cooler air acts as a lid, trapping these scents and causing a stink at the ground level.

Go chunk some pool cholrine tablets in it. I dont know if it will work, but it cleans a pool.

Lime should help.... local CO-OP or Ace will have it...

then close the windows
unless you want to treat 1/4 mile of ditch and its banks

It actually doesnt smell in the house. Just outside. More of a nuisance than a problem. Curious if there were any resosnable options
