Has anyone tried using soil amendments as a traction aid/ice melter?
I’ve seen municipalities use beet sugar syrup on roads and I’ve noticed anything in the snow will aid melting on sunny days.
My driveway drains to a garden bed and I’d rather improve the soil than build up ice melter salts or extra sand.
Some options I am interested in trying: biochar, azomite rock dust, beet pulp, ground pine bark, dry molasses, sawdust.
I’d be interested in hearing others experience!
