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).

I have been using rock salt to kill tree roots for at least 20 years. i do the 25 pounds split over a few days in the early spring when trees are about to bud out. works great, cant kill trees. killing a tree with root killer can cost thousands to remove a mature dying tree
