Last year was the first time I have tried salt and I lost a a really good job due to the stuff.
I told the lads to put it down if they felt the area may freeze and become a hazard.
So on this particular job he did just that. Customer went mental! Said its not good for his drive plus when it rains it washes it into his borders and kills the plants. so he cancelled because "we should ask before using anything out of the ordinary on his property" (a fair point)
Since then I wont use the stuff.
