Seed canaryseed in the saline spots. 3 years in a row ..... pray to the alkaline gods. Worked for us.

[Robertbarlage]

Canary? Might have to try it. Does canary use the salt or its just tolerant to the salt

[sumdumguy]

Don’t know, think tolerant but every year it grew in more and more until saline spot gone. Cheap to seed too.

That is Les Henry's best advice. If anyone would know of a better solution it is probably him.

That is an unknown phenomenon in this area. If I can get rid of the water the low spots are the most productive soil. Without any amendments.

Tile will help on our land but I don't think it works everywhere and every time.

Want to make money out of saline soil? Plant asparagus in it. It will grow well there.

Plant some cat tails and let it stay wet if you’ve been pumping it out. Stop driving through it and spreading it with the equipment.

Wetlands are the salt filters of the area. By taking them out and seeding in them whenever we can, this is what we get.

You have water moving up from the water table and evaporating, leaving the salt behind. Tile reverses that flow and the water moving down to the tile will dissolve the salt and take it down with it. Plant tile, not asparagus.
