Just about every company that makes ice melters markets them as lawn friendly. As well all know a lot of the time what they say and what they do are 2 totally different things.
Has anyone found a brand or type of melter that does a good job, and does not hurt the lawn?
I am very much intersted in hearing personal experiences with ones that will work in zone 4. Our temps range from an average of
+20*f to a low of -40*f.

Thanks in advance

Mike
