The salt of the winter can really do a number on your beautiful walkways that you have created. I know that I had always salted my walkways because I didn’t want people to slip and I still do not want them to slip however, my walkways had to be redone because they were just all cracking and falling apart becaues the salk was literally eatting away at the concrete. So now I use a lot of baking soda mixed with and it really does the same thing and I do not ruin my walkway!
