It’s incredible how effective salt is. I had a bunch of “used” water softening salt I didn’t want to put back in after cleaning my system, so I spread it over some nuisance bamboo growing under my fence and a rooty bush near my septic line. It’s just sand now.

Try it on trumpet vine. I have been at war with this thing for easily 8+ years and it won't fucking die. Salt, round up, boiling water, nothing works. I've never had a rivalry last this long.

Salt seems like a really good way to destroy your soil so you can't grow anything else either 😅
