Did it stain the cement if it got wet?

I've been doing without salt because it's so hard on the environment, but this I can do with a clear conscience.

This would be more friendly for puppy paws as well. I could save money on those non-caustic ice melters I've been buying.

Hi Katie,I'm the first in line to reply.Lucky for me,lol.Your brainstorm is wonderful.This winter my ramp was icy and I didn't have enough salt so my son grabbed the"epsom salt".I do hope your enjoying this site.I found an article where they make fireplace logs out of coffee grounds.They're called"Java Logs".Yup,made out of coffee grounds.They claim to burn better,no fumes to bother one w/breathing problems and burning the logs makes your place smell like fresh brewed coffee.
Enjoy and nice to see you here,Keeper
