will salt hurt my Liatris spicata???
I have about 20 Liatris spicata planted along a fence in a rock garden. many7 or 8 years ago, when my father owned the home, he dumped rock salt in the rock area because he was tired of all the weeds. i had forgotten all about that and planted them there anyways. this is the third year since they've been in and are doing great, but the weeds are starting to get nasty again. dad says i should salt them, i don't wanna hurt them. any advice?
Don't even think about it!!! Sodium is toxic to the soil, it ruins the soil structure thru deflocculation.......which is a fancy word that means the soil particles that should clump together so the soil drains suddenly stop clumping. The result is a soil that won't drain.
Maybe, just maybe if your soil is acidic you wouldn't see such disaster......but in clay alkaline soils, phew!!
Finally, the liatris would croak instantly.
Either pull the weeds, cut the weeds or use Roundup...just on the weeds.
