1. Get a 10 lb. cannon

2. Fire it at his house

After that, maybe you will have to wait for the salt to disperse before replanting unless you want to excavate and replace the soil.

The standard treatment is granular gypsum spread on soil surface heavily and watered in. Treat all areas you feel might be subjected to the problem. Someone in your locale such as feed stores must carry large bags of gypsum. Sorry this happened to you.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I will flood every other day. I feel that the salt was localized and hadn't travelled too far til I started the flushing.

Even though the soil is more like clay, I have ammended it well over the years and can at least wash out the top 18-24 inches.

No malice was intended and I think the damage can at least be halted.

I figure I've put about 780 gallons of water on it in the last 24hrs just thru the drippers and drip sprayers.

I also ran 2 hoses down the trench between the new pad and my berm at a good trickle to push any washed out salt to the drain at the end.

The berm is 32" wide by 6-8" tall on my side of the fence, more like 12-14" tall on his side by 60 feet long. There is a subsurface drain at the end that flows to the county flood sewer system.

I will try the gypsum too.

Thanks again!

It is called "chemical trespass"
Flood the hell out of the area and perhaps redirect your rain gutters to that spot.
The solution to pollution is dilution!

Jeff,

I agree with Nandina, treat are with gypsum. I have done a little research & found the following info on liquid gypsum (see link).

Hope this helps and so sorry this happened to you.

Blessings,
Beth
