Isn't that used for melting ice. I would think it would be widely
available, not so here in Atlanta!

Check a pharmacy.

It's a low temperature ice melter. Whether you can buy it in a
pharmacy, you can certainly buy it large quantities for melting ice. For
example:

It's a common ingredient in many premium ice melters.

It's also has characteristics that it make it suitable for desiccant
dehumidifying/air conditioning.

Andy,

I'm not sure why you want to buy calcium. If it is for
adding to your vegetables and fruit trees, calcium
chloride will not work. You should look at products
specifically for that purpose, like Nutri-Cal that
will be absorbed properly by these plants.

If you want to get calcium into a plant, the best way
is with a foliar spray of the proper calcium compound.
Using common calcium chloride will burn the leaves.

As I mentioned before, products like Nutri-Cal are
specifically formulated not to damage the leaves.
