Stuck on two that cross in the NE, and can't see the parsing of a third (if I have the right answer). Any hints please?

8a Reserved a sponge without a home (5)
???O?

4d Stinking holiday without grass? (4)
???D

Also 22a
Even turned to disengage (4)
U?D?
There's seems to be only one sensible answer, with a slightly iffy definition, but what's the parsing?

22a even letters of "turned" = disengage (synonym)

8a Think of name of bath sponge

Thanks jazzy - "turned to" in fact.

correction : even letters of "turned to"

4d: stinking is the definition.
Take a word meaning grass away from holiday

Thanks chiaro - clever, though scientifically inaccurate! (One is animal, the other, plant.)

4d def. stinking

Thanks elle. Now that is a word I didn't know!

Glad I could help , Chris!
