Soils are actually easier to repair and rebuild than houses, and less expensive, even when using organic methods. But don't tell the 'experts.'
Organic farms actually use a product called sea90 to fertilize their fields. It's literally salt dried from ocean water.
Does this work on all crops, or just salt-tolerant ones like beets and asparagus?
Is it used in quantities comparable to putting out a fire with seawater?
Not trying to be combative, just thinking through the issue. You live your whole life hearing βsalted earthβ and this is a bit of a surprise.
There's the link for it. I'm not an expert. My organic grass fed dairy friend uses it on his pastures.
I think it's mostly a myth. Salts occur very easily in nature and nature has no problem sorting it out. Besides, lose billions of dollars of buildings and possibly human lives, or take a growing season off to scoop up the dirt. Seems like easy math to me.
Salts are critical for livestock and humans to achieve optimal health. Gotta get it from somewhere π€·
