I doubt a one-time soak will do any harm. Snow melt and rain will wash out what little salt was left behind.

Lots of info on the web on "soil desalination". First step is a professional soil test. Check your local county extension office.

Then in most cases, unless the soil is a poorly draining one, it begins with lots of fresh water flushing and soil turning. One source I read awhile back focused on the benefits of fresh water flooding immediately after a heavy rain. It accelerates the salt removal process.

Could well be a benefit.

You don't need to do any thing. Some salty water covered your garden for a day it means nothing. Make sure you water your plants very well.

Lambs Quarters grown on the shoreline where they get a lot of salt spray are the very best eating that you can imagine.

Thanks a lot for your replies! You give me a lot to think about. Happy New Year!!

Now you don't have to add salt when you cook them....preseasoned.

Healthy new year to you as well.
