    I always thought a good way to sabotage a golf course would be to salt the earth so all the grass dies. Inexpensive, non-toxic and effective.

      :wtf-am-i-reading: it is toxic. thats why the grass would die. itd be very bad for the surroundings unless its built in the middle of a desert

        I meant not poisonous to people and animals like weed killer or something. Safer than burning it and starting a wild fire.

          folk put some salty potatos in their gob and assume salt just a cute lil nummy rock they dont gotta worry abt.

          industrial amounts of salt are extremely deliterious to the environment. you cant put salt in the damn ocean willy-nilly. its bad for fish, its bad for plants, its bad for animals. you put salt on the ground that salt gets in the drainage system when it rains and salts everything downstream

          i mean its not as bad as a defoliant probably but brush-burning a golf course'd be more of a pain than just letting nature take its course

          It is toxic for animals, including humans, as well. There's a reason you aren't supposed to drink soy sauce straight from the bottle. Salting land the size of a glf course would affect the birds and fish and insects, which will affect larger animals as well. There is no way to effectively kill a ton of plants without killing a lot of other things too.

            Nobody’s salting an entire golf course from tip to taint. I’m talking about fucking up some putting greens, which would just get re-sodded anyway, not engineering an ecological disaster. And yeah, salt is toxic to people if you eat too much, I don't people are eating golf course soil.

              What if we get 6,000 gophers and release them on the green? Let the furry little insurgents do the job for us?
