SUMMARY:Improve Traction on Walkways
DESCRIPTION:Store bins of untreated kitty litter or traction grit (coarser than sand) at key points along paths, and in the car. Both products are safer than de-icing salt, which can damage flowerbeds and the lawn. Look for litter containing vermiculite or pumice. An added benefit: Staying on paths keeps you out of soggy soil.
