Salting a weeded area can inhibit plant growth by causing dehydration and disrupting nutrient uptake. The leaching of salt primarily depends on factors like soil type, rainfall, and irrigation, but typically, salt can migrate several inches to a few feet into the soil. In sandy soils, leaching occurs more rapidly, while clay soils retain salt longer. However, excessive salinity can lead to long-term soil degradation and affect nearby plants and ecosystems.
