How much salt does it take to "saturate" 30 gallons of water?

Can you cite some of those sources so I can do a little reading?

Can't you type "salt solubility table" into Google?

The "cites" requested were not related to the solubility properties of
salt, but rather a request for the sources that helped Mr. Romano
determine that "30 gallons once a year" was the proper dosage for his
leach field.

Sorry, but I don't recall and didn't save the cites. *I just Google
searched for something like: * rock salt kill roots
and got a bunch of citations. *I read a bunch of them and decided that
if I could get a saturated solution into the wetted parts of the leach
field, that should do the trick. *So far so good.

Thanks.

Your searches were similar to the ones I've been doing and there
appears to be no "set dosage" .

It's not really a big deal, just more of a "comfort" knowing that I'm
not "over killing" (i.e. wasting my time and money) or worse yet
"under killing" (i.e. not killing as many roots as I could be).

I guess I'll "go big" to be on the safe side.

Thanks again.
