Come now, just think about that one from a logistical stand point. How many pounds of salt would be required to lay a single acre of land desolate? Probably more than a single man could carry. From personal experience, using road salt to defoliate weeds that were growing up near my house, in of all places, Georgia - it took five pounds of salt to kill off a strip 2 feet wide by 250 feet. And that only lasted for a year and a half. But then again, Sherman ate babies, stole Christmas hams, ran red lights, double parked his wagon trains, made tele-marketing calls during Sunday dinner, and imported the boll weevil.
