It sounds like you are talking about agricultural soils that aren't
salty but have gotten that way through the way they have been
managed over the years. Aren't there some arid western soils that
are alkaline and salty by nature (the young vs. old parent soil
characteristics)?
If so, can these be helped to be more productive? Can compost teas
contribute to making such soils more useful to agriculture?
