Will rock SALT kill vegetation in areas where growth is unwanted?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, it will kill for awhile. it dessicates (dehydrates) plant roots. Dissolving salt in water works faster because it gets to the roots faster.
After a while, rainfall will dilute the salt level to where plants can grow again.
you betcha it will most certainly''
Yes ,Disolve in water first and apply
Yes, and also put in minerals that the soil does not need, like sodium and chloride. Sadly, they'll be washed into the aquifers and end up in lakes and water sources...
You could weed out the areas you don't want vegetation in, cover with a weed block and mulch, or use paving sand..
