How to apply Calcium Chloride to 600 of gravel road
Hello. I was wondering if it might be cost effective for me (the homeowner) to apply CaCl to the gravel road that parallels the house?
I am having a difficult time finding a place to buy it in bulk.
Typically we pay a company to apply the liquid solution when they are in the area. But I would like to try applying it as needed.
If anyone has suggestions/tips on how to apply it myself (e.g., flakes or liquid, method and rate to apply) I would be very appreciative.
Thanks!

Thanks for the informative replies folks!
Murf, is there a way a person could spray the liquid on a gravel road/drive without spending a great deal on a specialized spraying rig?
Where would you suggest that a homeowner could buy the liquid?

As a matter of fact I had already checking with the local highway/transporation department and they said their contract was with a company in Wisconsin (FLOR-DRI SUPPLY). I contacted that company and they said they don't have a local distributor (I'm in Iowa).
Murf, you mentioned that, in the past, you used a "3pth spreader". What is that?
What is the dust control application rate for flake and liquid.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh! "pth" is 'point hitch"! I was trying to figure out what that meant. Thanks for helping. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Does anyone happen to know what rate to apply flake or liquid CaCl?
Is there a certain amount per square yard? I don't want to under/over saturate the area.
Thanks.

Thanks Murf.
I would consider doing more than 2 pounds per square yard of the flake so that I could solidify the surface but the county comes along with their road grader and would undo the work!
As solely a dust suppressant, how much liquid do you apply? It seems like I could be more accurate with the distribution of the liquid especially if there is any kind of wind blowing.

I was at Menards (big box home improvement center) and they had various ice melt products. Some of them were pellets that contained Calcium Chloride but they also had Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, and/or Sodium Chloride. But it didn't say how much of each. Does anyone know if these ice melt products that contain some Calcium Chloride will work as a dust suppressant?
Are the Calcium Chloride dust suppressants that you use 100% CaCl?
Thank you.
