I live in the city and the flower beds in the front of my house have
received salt from the upstairs tennant' staircase...

How can i make sure i neutralize that salt level before planting new
perrennials ?

My new tennant does not use salt anymore...



Salt is attracted to water. If you have well drained soil, it's hard to
imagine that the upstairs tenant could have used enough salt on a
walkway that the spring thaw and rains wouldn't take most of it away. If
they did, shovel the salt before the rains come.
