Parrs Magic Ice Melt Original 18.75kg Tub

I used this ice melt last year, and just received more for this year. - It works really well, it keeps the paths clear for longer than I expected, and meets the promises on the tub (24hours active). - I am particularly appreciative, that it does not harm the plants, as I am using it close to a big hedge. - Also its said to not irritate animals paws - since I don't have cats or dogs, I can't comment on that. - The delivery was swift and the kind gentleman even put it next to my shed. - I like that it does not make these unpleasant salt-crushing sounds, on the wooden-floor in the entrance hall. By the way it did not damage the wooden floor at all, I could not detect any effect of the melt on floor. Last year I used it by distributing by hand, which I think, might mean I might have used a bit more than I needed to, and not as evenly. I shall try this year to use it with the Gardena spreader for lawn feed (like a small brush-size - ca. 35 cm wide - trolly-type thing) - I might write about that some other time, but maybe others have suggestions for how to best distribute it evenly. - I also like to praise this company for not putting up its prizes in this current weather. I do not support - i.e. I won't buy - from companies, who put up prizes for hard to get, or high in demand goods - e.g. several tyre dealers and/or manufactures have put up their prices, ditto for snow-shovels (e.g. on amazon.de the company Opult did demand within the span of 1 week double the amount for the Gardena snow-shovel (which is not yet available in the UK as far as I know)). Overall: great experience with the product, the company, and amazon! PS I bought last year the ice melt in a bag, and did not need to use it all. Whilst I took care to tie it up well, to use this year, rainwater must have entred, as it had clumped and needed to be crushed to be applied, and its effectiveness seemed reduced. So if you don't think you use up all of your bags content, I suggest, that put it in a tub or buy it in a tub in the first place.
