I'd just spray the field with slug poison at this point. But I guess it's more natural.
Gotta get used to it. It's free and more ecological - no chemicals at all. Also great grandpa-grandson bonding time. Slugs first, homegrown cucumber with salt later ๐
Ah yes, slug poison the thing that won't hurt your crops..... Salt.
I haven't tought that far.
No offense, but you're definitely the type that would've in the middle ages salted his own crops and then cursed the "witch" next door
idk how good or bad salting soil is. Probably bad.
Very bad. In antiquity, if an army felt personally slighted by a populace, instead of just burning their crops, they would burn and salt the fields. That would prevent the earth from being arable for generations. The salt prevents plant roots from drawing up water, so until the salt is washed away with enough rain (talking tens to hundreds of years depending on how much salt), nothing will grow.
Good to know, thanks!
