Doesn't do anything
I've tried using this a couple of times this winter on my ramp but each time it didn't appear to do anything. This last storm I sprayed one side of my ramp with this, and left the other side untreated. There was actually more snow on the treated side!

    The product is fine. Unfortunately, delivery was terrible, as it took 13 days to arrive after tracking began. I could have really used it a lot sooner. I try not to order many months in advance, as some solids can come out of solution and clog up sprayers. Usually I would expect a good 3-5+ business days for delivery. i realize there was cold weather, but don't understand the following: I purchased the product on Jan 10, and a UPS label was created the morning of Jan 11 (which is great), but the next scan (a UPS origin scan) is not until Jan 17 (six days later). Why is there this very long delay? Of course, after the origin UPS scan, it then begins its journey from the east coast (Latham, NY) to the midwest, sometimes spending 2-3 days at major hubs, and overall spending 6 days of travel after the origin scan (which is not great, but certainly understandable). Still, the biggest hold-up seems to be Home Depot getting the product into the UPS system for an origin scan. Please explain what is going on. Is USPS involved in initially getting the product to UPS? Thank you!

    Not the greatest at melting ice in low temperatures. Temperatures below 20 degrees

    I'm not sure this did anything to reduce ice or snow recently when it was in the low teens and we got about three inches of snow.

    We have used this product for the last three years on the asphalt driveway we had replaced. We live in Madison Wisconsin so it really gets teased. After we blow the snow off of the driveway, if the sun is out the driveway is completely dry. I apply it with an inexpensive HDX 1 gal sprayer that I only use for this and wash throughly after use. One gallon does our car and a half wide driveway. A 75 foot strip of our street down to the mailboxes and the limestone paved step down to our back yard. I applied it two days ago when the temperature was in the 60’s and am all set for another ice free winter.

    Bare Ground is Great
    I like Bare Ground very much. Don't like the mess that salt causes.

    It doesn't melt ice that's already there. I think the only reason it melts the little bit that it does is because it's warm when kept inside. Pre treating doesn't seem to help much either. It's very disappointing.

    This stuff works pretty good. I sprayed it on the sidewalk prior to a snowstorm of approximately 4 inches and after the storm I had mostly bare ground. The only drawback is that this stuff is relatively thick and hard to spray. I ended up using more than what I had anticipated.

    Works excellent. Use in addition to ice melt and it’s a winning combo.

    Applied exactly as the directions stated and steps were icy the next morning with just a light drizzle and maybe 1/4 inch of snow. Ended up using regular salt.
    Doesn't perform as stated.
