Comment on How much salt water to kill a tree?
LordGimp@lemm.ee 4 months agoNaw I want everything to die in that area. We used to grow ivy out back but tore it all out when it started to climb the fences and cause ddamage. Now its decorative gravel with planters full of succulents on top. As for candy soil, we have clay just under the topsoil, which I’m thinking will hold the salt in place nicely. However, I do want to kill the roots under my side of the fence. It’s already starting to lift the patio slab and I want to stop it before it breaks up the concrete like their patio. We’ve tried a couple lawyers but nobody even wants to consult us when we explain it’s a condo with a HOA on unincorporated land. I don’t even know what kind of lawyer covers that, because it’s obviously not any of the ones we’ve talked to.

I understand that your patio and your property are important to you. I understand what you want. Regardless of what kind of soil you have, salting it will not get you what you want. It will not solve the problem. It will only create more problems for you. I’m sorry that lawyers couldn’t help. If your place is unincorporated, you won’t have code enforcement. Have you appealed to your HOA for help? You pay fees, they’re supposed to help you. That’s another box to check to show that you’re the good guy.
