cold climate gals - salt holder?
i'd like to get a nice stone or ceramic box for outside that holds our salt for our walk when it snows. i'm from california as you know so i'm not sure what would be good for this purpose. for one, can you keep salt outside? i think you can, right? and is there any box type that would be better or worse? i'm thinking about corrosion? assuming metal wouldn't work? and does this have a name? the reason i ask about materials is because i'm assuming i'll have to find something that's maybe not made for this purpose since all i found online after a brief look was this, which is nms:
thanks!

Re: cold climate gals - salt holder?
This is the monstrosity that Balto City puts out.
PS cant believe I could actually find a picture of that online!
A wooden potato bin comes to mind, but that is proabbably bigger then you are looking for.
What about something like this? http://www.containerstore.com/shop/trashRecycling/kitchen?productId=10024289&N=70622
Yeah I guess anyone can use them. I mean there isn't anyone there to stop you. I know there is usually one at the end of my Gmoms street. I think its manly for people to through down on sidewalks that other people are too lazy to shovel.
I looked for other containers online but couldnt come up with anything that has a lid. I think you have to have a lid or your salt will get funky.
We also just keep ours in the garage and transfer to a bucket to spread. Well, H does anyway. I can't take credit for that.
He also likes the smaller bags that have the handle so he doesn't have to transfer, but those get sold out so quickly that we forget to get them until it's too late.
No help on a box - I'd think whatever you used could get wet somehow and then the salt would eventually clump up.
We just have a large (5-gal) bucket and plastic scoop from Home Depot that we keep in the shed and fill every few weeks with the salt the town provides (in the bins like BMW posted above).

We don't use anything except the package it comes in. We keep it in our hallway so that everyone has access to it, although H and I are the only ones that typically spread the rock salt.
It's just too messy to try and make it look cute, IMO.
I think your best bet is to keep it in an air tight container. I don't know if I would keep it outside though - we kept our leftover salt from last year in the basement and it ended up freezing into one big blob.
maybe that's why this hasn't been invented :-(
