Default RE: Mineral Lick Question

We all gotta learn from somewhere....

The recipe I picked up at a show uses a 1-2-1 ratio with the trace mineral being the 2. 1ft x 3ft is a good guide to follow. We mix a large batch for approx 6 locations using a small coffee can to measure. After digging the hole,layer the mixture with the dirt from the hole 2-3 times using enough of the minerals to give the ground a good dusting on each layer.You can speed up the leaching process by adding water once you've filled in the hole.

3-4 months is about right for refreshing the sites as well.
