It hasn't done that for me.

The only way fertilizer could leave rust stains would be if it contains iron
salts, which it doesn't. Check the ingredients.

Fertilizer will leave permanent rust stains on your concrete.

What state are you in. There is a product called Premier that is
manufactured by a company in Salt Lake City and sold to retailers. I have
had personal experience with this product and know it to be safe on grass,
and usually safe on concrete. It comes in 50 lb boxes. If you need
anymore
information, contact me directly.

Does anyone know of a brand or type of salt to use in snow/ice areas of
the
country?
The regular salt for melting ice washes off when the ice melts and runs
into
some of our
ornamental shrubs and perennials. This always results in plants nearest
to
the runoff dying by spring. Any suggestions are appreciated.
