My friend used road salt to burn away the edges of her grass with the weeds and it has done the job well but now she is wondering what to do with the grass and if she put down grass seeds would they grow? I myself dont have any ideas and am hoping somebody can help her out _________________ I grow veg but I dont eat them!!! or fruit.... |

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong (think I may be) but I'm fairly sure salt makes the soil sterile for a year or two? _________________ My Gardening / Cooking blog  |

Ya as far as I know any soil that has salt put on it won't grow anything for a year or two. _________________ there are 3 types of people in the world, those that can count and those that can't... |

I use hot cooking oil, and water from pasta etc. to do the same job. It works very well. |
