Some gardeners prefer 1.5 cups salt to 3 cups water. Others prefer 1 cup salt to 2 cups water.
Salt kills weeds, and everything else in the area. In fact, the ancient Romans routinely salted the lands of their conquered enemies. Specifically, they so heavily salted the ground around Carthage that the area is still desert.
Such long lasting devastation won't happen with the above mixes. But the salt isn't really necessary. Boiling water, on its own, kills weeds.

One cup (128 grams) of salt to two cups (473.18 milliliters) of boiled water or to four cups (946.36 milliliters) of white vinegar and a one-half teaspoon (2.46 milliliters) of bleach-, degreaser-, fragrance-less dish soap functions as an effective natural herbicide in a spray bottle set on stream, not mist or spray, on a calm, hot day. Large areas require one pound (453.59 grams) of salt to one gallon (3.78 liters) of boiled water and serve to increase the likelihood of the dehydrating desiccant, which stays in the soil, turning non-target, salt-intolerant vegetation into stunted, wilted, yellowed plants.
