We break down what “salty soil” really means and why salinity and sodicity demand different fixes. We share how to properly diagnose a soil as saline, sodic, or saline/sodic through soil sampling and testing, to avoid turning a manageable patch into concrete. We also discuss.... • defining normal, saline, sodic, saline-sodic with soil test EC and sodium results • why salinity causes drought-like stress without wrecking structure • how sodicity drives clay dispersion and pore collapse • when...
