In our introductory Snow update we told you the cheapest options for ordering a stock pile of grit and rock salt for use throughout the winter. Many of you told us that you would love to take part but don’t have the space for 20kg of grit.

Fortunately, more compact options are available. You can order a bucket or pot of grit with a lid, sometimes with a handle and plastic scoop. These products are a complete solution for anyone who wants to treat a shorter stretch of pavement (maybe a few hundred yards) once or twice over the winter. Obviously, the convenience of the packaging means you pay a premium but I found this solution was really very convenient and meant I could get straight to work sorting out my pavement.

Of course, you could refill these buckets from a larger bag and keep it to hand.

Take care.
