Maybe salt ,sodium chloride is another way instead of using chemical
weed killers.

erm ... in what way does a chemical used as a weed killer differ from a
chemical weed killer? ;-)

Quite. But salt, sodium chlorate and even caustic soda are not things

Would regular doses of salt water kill off a plant ?

Probably.

You might have to use quite a lot on things like asparagus and thrift!
