I've heard that about the jolly ranchers. Might try this year. That sucks you can't feed them there. I could ups you a 50# bale of it to feed the rabbits around your setup

The idea about the alfalfa really intrigues me. I boil my traps in a bottom half of a 55gal drum. Brew up a bigarse pot full of that stuff with a stiff north wind, haha! Have you always had pretty good luck with apple scents? Never used potpourri before for any reason, but what about those fuel blocks from military surplus for a heat source?
