Neighbor has a tree that shits leaves and gunk all over our back patio and the roots are coming under our fence and fucking up our concrete. I want to start spraying the limbs hanging over our fence with salt water and pour buckets of the stuff down on the roots if necessary. Approx how much salt am I going to need and how long do I need to keep dousing it to see this tree dead? Tree is approx. 20 foot tall and 10 years old.
Depending where you are, this could open a whole can of legal worms for you. I’d avoid addressing this issue like this and simply talk to your neighbor.
Did this. Neighbor was emphatic that anything on my side of the property line is my problem to deal with. That’s why I want the salt. The tree overhangs our back patio and drops seedlings everywhere in our decorative gravel. So I want to salt that area to prevent anything growing back and I’d like to mist everything hanging over our property with salt water until it dies. You got any particular tips on salinity for maximum plant toxicity?
