Somebody explain this salt thing to me. Salts stop clays from swelling. They will make them like concrete on the surface as you can see in oilfields where salt was just dumoed, but the water dissolves the salt out of the clays. This sounds like a bad idea to me, but I could be wrong.

nope, just the opposite. the sodium makes the clay particles repel each other, ie fattening up the clay. i "fixed" a silty pond like this once before.
