It leaves behind salt crystals which are scrapped out manually. This is a traditional salt farming method which has been followed since Incan civilization. 

Moray Farming Terrace:

The agricultural terrace of Moray has been of importance to Incas. These circular terraces have different layers. To Incas, this was more of an agricultural laboratory. It is here they have been inventing different farming techniques.
