You've heard the term "salt the Earth?" Real estate developer Ted Schroth allegedly put that into practice. Schroth is accused of pouring salt around 123 poplar trees on a property adjacent to his Lake Chelan property in an apparent attempt to improve his view.. The ruined property is owned by rival real estate developer Mark McNaugton, whom Schroth apparently had a bit of a beef with regarding the property and the trees. [KIRO]
