Here you just wait a few weeks--rain will wash it away. What type soil, what is the pH? Maybe you can even dig a small hole near the affected spot and let water slowly spray on the affected area and accumulate in the hole.

The soil is very sandy. I'm a stone throw away from the Santa Ana River and I don't know the pH level. The salt was spread over a 400 square foot area--not a small spot.

Kim, where I used to work we had a large storage area that was bare soil/weeds. The boss used to have us throw rock salt all over the ground to help kill the weeds.
I'm not looking to make a bare spot or kill weeds

Do you know if your soil is saline, sodic (high sodium concentration) or both?
My yard never was before. 4 years ago my father and I had completely dug up and rejuvenated our front yard.

These responses may be a little late but I want everyone to know I appreciate all the feed back. Thank You.
