.................. I use the red livestock bocks now, is there a reason for busting them up? I just toss them by the corn.
IT helps desolve the salt into the soil faster. The deer want the soil (with salt) not just the salt. The earliest you start, the better it will be. Once they find the salt pit, they will come to it, but spring and summer are the most active times for the pit.
Good luck.
