Lots of visitors to the mineral pit:

Inquiring minds what to know....

What's in the pit?

[Roscoe]

2 parts trace mineral salt
1 part dicalcium phosphate

I add about about 3/4 of a 5gal bucket to it a couple of times a year.

I think this past spring was 3 yrs. I need to get 4 or 5 bags of dirt and fill it back in bit.

Ross, do you buy those minerals at a feed store?

[Roscoe]

Yeah, trace mineral salt is easy find. The dicalcium phosphate is harder to find and I had to order.

2 parts trace mineral salt
1 part dicalcium phosphate

I use that recipe, but with one part regular stock salt included. My pit is not yet that deep, but getting there.

[Roscoe]

Original recipe called for the stock salt also, but heck I figured since trace mineral is already >90% salt, no need to add it.

I tried it in another location there and they pretty much ignored it. This one is fairly close to a wet weather creek. It's a much cooler location in the woods and the soil holds moisture better. It's no more than a few hundred yards from the location that didn't work.
