Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

    So it’s really dirt? Not sand or salt? Dirt seems to be a much better option for the plants/lawns/etc near the sidewalks when spring comes.

      Ah it was a rough aggregate mixed with sand apparently with a little salt mixed in. I wish it was real dirt.
