unsure where else to post this but i was wondering if anyone used a standard spreader for rock salt or some other kind of ice melt. in a bit of research my understanding is rock salt probably is too irregular. all the other melts are more expensive but id switch to them if i could use a spreader.

i have a very steep hill and in my old age i've been thinking about getting some cleats so i dont slip on the hill and then a spreader to melt the ice. right now i keep leaves all along the side of the driveway and shimmy down sideways in winter and its really not fun
