Do you remember Moira Ryan from OGL? She was very well informed about most aspects of organic gardening. She observed, correctly, that this salt buildup consititutes the greatest challenge to agriculture in desert areas, and there's no real way around it, without enough water to leach them away.

It's been many years since I frequented the massive OGL, but yes, I actually do remember her, and I concur that without a substantial amount of water, there is nothing you can do.. If you are gardening in clay containers, just replace the containers. I suppose you could set up some kind of leach system in a bathtub, but that would be a real pain.
