Depend. Rains can wash the salt, insoluble compounds are harder to wash but also affect plants less

Just keep farming on it until the topsoil is gone. Nothing will grow there for decades at least.

Potash...

If you put a lot of potash on it, it will work.

Just a little bit is enough...
Do you think, somebody can hand out something so crucial?

GMO modified crops are one, then there are so many insectitides, nothing grows.

Haiti achieved it by cutting down all their trees for firewood. They tried to do the same to Dominica but they killed them all:

They're trying it again now:

The rains wash it. Its a problem though in artificially irrigated fields with more evaporation than rain.

lead can remain in soils for an extremely long time and is so difficult to remove that the general strategy is to just take all the dirt away and bring in fresh dirt
it's not so toxic to the plants but it will definitely fuck up any humans who farm that soil for a long period of time and it is very easy to get your hands on it
interestingly enough, many farmlands in developed nations are contaminated with significant amounts of lead from the widespread use of leaded gasoline in the 20th century

Is it lead oxide? Its barely soluble, maybe just enough to pollute food but slow enough to require centuries for depletion
