While salt will kill plants it is not a good idea to use it as not only will it kill everything it comes in contact with, I have heard that it can also sterilize the soil and you will have difficulty growing anything in the area treated.

Would saltwater be a good herbicide?

Saltwater can act as a herbicide due to its high salinity, which can damage or kill plants by disrupting their water uptake and causing dehydration. However, using saltwater as a herbicide is not environmentally friendly, as it can harm surrounding soil and vegetation and lead to soil degradation. Additionally, salt can persist in the environment, affecting future plant growth and soil health. Therefore, while it may be effective in certain situations, it is not a recommended or sustainable herbicide option.
