I have an area of my yard where I never ever want anything to grow,
namely the area next to my fence. I have tried Triox which is sold as
a persistent herbicide, but it was not effective. Handling such
chemicals isn't much fun either. Now I'm thinking of digging a trench
and putting a bag or two of water softener salt in it.

Does this sound like it would work? Are there any disadvantages or
advantages I might have overlooked?
