No offense, but you're definitely the type that would've in the middle ages salted his own crops and then cursed the "witch" next door

idk how good or bad salting soil is. Probably bad.

Very bad. In antiquity, if an army felt personally slighted by a populace, instead of just burning their crops, they would burn and salt the fields. That would prevent the earth from being arable for generations. The salt prevents plant roots from drawing up water, so until the salt is washed away with enough rain (talking tens to hundreds of years depending on how much salt), nothing will grow.

Good to know, thanks!
