home made mineral dump

[teeroy]

anybody have a recipe for home made deer cocaine? i have a recipe (somewhere) and thought if someone had one, i could find a few more ingredients to add

 

[JEG]

1 part trace mineral salt, two parts dicalcium phosphate, top dress with arm + hammer baking wash not baking soda. I think the baking wash is sodium bicarbonate and baking soda is sodium carbonate. The baking wash is the deer crack.

Can You just dump that one the ground or do you need to put it in something. like mix it with the dirt or what?

 

[Shredder]

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate.

I have heard of people adding moleases to it also.

 

[docH]

Can you buy them or do you have to set mole traps to obtain them?

 

[Ghost]

Supertec...I guess you can establish a mineral site anytime during the year, but next year you might want to consider doing the "big dump" in real early Spring to give them the maximun benefit.

Hey Doc, I dig through the dumpsters behind the Mole-skin plant to get my Mole-asses!

I understand Early spring is the ideal time to do it. But did not get a chance to. And yes my spell checker was broken last night! Smart Arses
