Clearing the way

First clear, then grit

Winter not only brings beautiful snowy landscapes, but also dangers such as black ice. To ensure that no one slips, falls and injures themselves, sidewalks should be kept free of snow and ice, at least during the day. However, local regulations must be observed. If necessary, they should be cleared several times a day. To clear areas and paths of snow effectively and quietly, the lightweight and sturdy GARDENA combisystem snow shovels are ideal. The combisystem handles made of certified wood or aluminium can be extended with numerous attachments, either with the snow shovels, ice scrapers or garden tools for the whole garden year. The combisystem offers more than 80 possible combinations - and the matching storage system. It keeps things tidy and saves space, because attachments for the summer gardening season can also be placed here.

What is being spread?

To minimise the risk of slipping in front of the house, grit should be used on pavements and stairs. If one is looking for an alternative to salt, use granulates, chippings, sand, and gravel. They do not pollute the environment like road salt and are also gentler on the paws of four-legged walkers. The GARDENA Small Caster is just right for that. Depending on the material, the grit size can be adjusted from coarse to fine. Two recessed grips on the sides of the small spreader ensure non-slip and safe handling - even when wearing gloves. The handy helper is practical all year round for medium-sized gardens and city gardens – not only for the use of road salt, but also in summer for fertiliser and seeds.
