What size dosage? A cup? A pound? 25 pounds?


What's a "regular interval"? Every week? Every month? Every quarter?


Right there I've got 9 possible sets of "repeated dosages at regular
intervals", but still no clue as to what is the optimum.


With all the "science" I've seen posted in this ng across a variety of
topics, I'm surprised no one knows the correct amount and time frame.


Probably because nobody here has used rock salt to kill roots.
When I had a sewer root problem I bought a root killer for that, can't
remember which one.
But there were instructions on the box (or bottle).
