It absorbs it and makes it inert. Water works too, but with a lot of salt water
can bog the soil with the saline levels.

How does charcoal remove salt??? Flushing with fresh water seems to
be the best idea.

If you have a lot of salts you can try to use activated charcoal. It removes a

will also help.

I am from Montreal canada...

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...
