Atglen, Pa. the run-off that occurs as the ice melts cun actually feed the plants with nitrogen. When spring comes, there will be green grass instead of dead areas and weeds along the edges of walks, drives, steps and flower borders. Urea costs more than rock salt or calcium chloride but it is worth it considering its plant food value, and that it is non eonusive to metal, has very little icsiduc to track into the house and won’t damage or discolor floois or carpets. Uiea can be handled and spread with ordinary home gardening equipment and it’s available in most farm supply stores. The rate of application varies according to conditions. But, Mitchell believes ten pounds of uiea per 100 square feet should do the job under most cucumstances. Urea is es pecially effective at the 25 - 30 degree range.
