Idunno, maybe. I live in the US too, but I'm in an apartment so I'm not the one de-icing walkways. Maybe I should switch it to sugar instead of beet juice, since I'm pretty sure it's the sugar in that that reduces the freezing temperature of water anyway, and sugar doesn't (as far as I know) turn stuff red
Are you actually using beet juice? I would recommend sand, fine gravel or something else that prevents slipping.
