You just have to be very careful with the dosage, since salt is used to kill weeds and harmful to beneficial microbes. There are people who say they get very good result using the right dosage, particularly foliar spraying.

My bias opinion is it's one of those unnecessary organic soil amendment. I tried all of them when I started gardening, such as compost tea brewing, rock dust, sea90, biochar. Couldn't understood why spending thousands of dollars on all these products and couldn't grow anything worthwhile. Only got good result once I start using compost and mulching.

I honestly believe these salt products are just overpriced salt, among the many overpriced organic marketed products looking to rip off new gardeners. $35 for 10lbs sea90, I could buy high quality food grade sea salt for cheaper.
