How do you keep terrestrial isopods that live on the coast?

I would like to breed Ligiidae and Tylidae, but I live inland and do not have easy access to seawater or beach sand.
Is it possible to keep Ligiidae and Tylidae without these?
If so, I would like to know what I should pay attention to.

At least some Tylos species (and Helleria brevicornis, which isn't even associated with beaches) can apparently survive fine without seawater.

You can salt water prepared already or stuff to mix from any fish keeping shop
Which is the best way to provide salt to the isopods: mixing salt into the soil, soaking the soil in salt water, or spraying it on with a mist?

It is still not a good idea to mix it with soil.
I will try spraying it. Thanks!
