    The walkway through my orchard becomes too icy to navigate in Winter.
The trees do not like  any of the commercial ice melters and I have come
upon something new.  Some folks around here use commercial fertilizer which
barely works.  What works better on the ice is Calcium Nitrate and/or
Ammonium Nitrate that I buy from my greenhouse supply company.
