Default Using Caustic Soda to Kill plants ?

Thus spake (Nick Maclaren)


Sowing fields with salt would not harm ones in the UK for more
than a season. In the near east, there are many places where
the rainfall is never enough to drain into the groundwater, and
there salt accumulates. In the UK, that is not so by a large
margin.


And there was I thinking Cambridge had similar overall rainfall to
Jerusalem...
