Well here is one application for salt although containing it might be a problem.
Black plastic works really well until enough debris accumulates to permit growth.You can keep it down by scattering stone over it but be aware that stone will trap moisture and dirt and eventually weed will grow. Fuel oil too is a pretty good killer but it stinks. I think I would apply black plastic, scatter some crushed rock over it and, when/if there is any sign of weed spray a little roundup on the buggers. You will have plenty of height under there. If you also sink some edging, something about 6 or 8 inches deep all around the perimeter this will act as a barrier for lawn grasses or other adjacent roots from transitioning. With plastic though and no light through black plastic you should be pretty good for a very long time.
