Darren and Brian Hefty discuss the problem with saline soils and how to fix them. They explain how to use your soil test properly to balance the nutrients in the soil as well.
touring farms in ND that had this issue. lots of there land they simply cant tile. they have found first thing is to stop tillage.the tillage promoted evaporation and actually brought the salts up making the problem worse. let the Kockia grow and seed high water use plants. mow them to keep them from going to seed. in several years them spots that had zero life will start to show some life!
I am a curious guy would timber bamboo work as a saline irrigation solution for seasonal repair of historically ruined soils such as ancient Mesopotamia over some predictable period of time with of course the additional gypsum. It’s a dumb question I’m sure but I was actually thinking about soils damaged by fracking activity in a oil market of subsidized oil production having a negative per barrel market value.
How to drain when my field? When my field lies at lesser height than neighbor's field. And, there is no drainage point available at short distance. I have been watching your videos, they are rationale. Kindly, provide your guidance. My field is having shallow water table, to say only 4 feet deep, pH:8.5, EC: moderate to stongly saline. Crops grow in patches. We grow wheat and cotton.
Please i have acquired a land for residential property in a very very salty land. What materials should i use to protect the building from being affected by the salt in the land.

this guys assume that we have enough water to drainage. What about the dry lands? What are we supposed to do? We only have rain to grow our crops and thats all. (ı'm talking about wheats )
