But salt is very corrosive if you keep using it will build up in the soil and nothing will grow
and kill off the soil itself... we need to remember that the earth itself is a living organism...that needs to be fed, watered and cared for. Putting chemicals into the earth does impact it's ability to sustain other life ( grass / shrubs / flowers etc... )unless you want everything killed off there.
Salt is magic for driveways and patios. I buy the 500g ones from Lidl, for 29c each. Cheap, effective and safe.Salt works wonders
