Geese do a heck of a job on vegetation, I get a flock of 10000 snow geese
every winter, they are like a giant lawnmower they eat all the covercrops and
winter wheat, on a good day they will clear 10 acres leaving barren
soil...Bob.

I guess I'd warn you that salting the soil isn't a very recommended
practice. People often think of the soils out west that are so salty nothing
will grow in them. In our favor to the east, we have suifficient rainfall to
dissolve and leach out salt so it will eventually be removed. But a lot of
people will probably want to scare you off of it. In fact, I'd say it's
experimental, not recommended. But I do have this site that floods, and
there is an asparagus patch there now. I'll have to think about it.
