Any way to deal with a salted yard?

Finally, in desperation I informed the police about what was going on. The partying stopped, but my lawn got salted Can you explain why college kids would want to **** you off by messing up your lawn and shrubery? Instead of, say, scratching your car or slashing your tires? It's not a matter of ****ing me off, but rather getting even with me for ruining their fun. And from a college kid's viewpoint, calling the police is akin to being a narc. In the end though, they quieted down after the police threatened to bring in the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and go hermantile on their collective butts for having underage kids at their parties. Is your landscaping so immaculate and significant that it was an obvious choice for them to vandalize? Did you in any way make references to your lawn or property during your confrontation with them? Were they ****ing on your lawn and you told them to stop - and that's how they got the idea to vandalize it later? They saw me fertilizing it and bragging about how nice and green it was this year. And why salt? That sounds like a crazy idea unless there happened to be handy supply of salt nearby. Not at all. Salt is cheap and college kids tend to refer to "How to Get Even" books, there are many such websites as well. One common tactic is to salt somebody's lawn. That way, it simply fades rather than to die altogether. Salting a lawn will drive somebody crazy; killing a lawn will lead to the cops getting involved. It would have been more plausible and effective for them to go and buy a hose-end sprayer of Killex and go nuts on your landscaping instead of using salt. See my above remark. Besides, I saw them doing it, but they ran when I came out of the house and it was too late. I couldn't prove who it was because I didn't get a good enough look. I would give odds that the average college fool would have no idea that salt could be used to kill turf and other vegitation. Is this an agricultural college by chance? See my above remarks. How do you know it was salt? Did you find any granules in the grass? Did you hear it first or second hand? As I said in the OP, the main topic of this message isn't the trouble with the kids, but rather how can I repair the damage they did to my lawn by salting it. They're gone now. I hope I don't have to discuss this unpleasant topic anymore, all I would like is a way to deal with the salting. -- John Corliss |
