Plan was to use one gram to 100 grams of waste bread. Since the Iron
Phosphate is not water soluble I planned to dissolve it in acid. Not
wanting too strong a acid I thought I would use Coke a Cola which has a
pH of about 4. Looks like this recipe will be for next year.
Any comments?
Are you sure you want phosphate and not phosphide?
That looks like an awfully expensive slug killer.

I part iron phosphate to 99 parts inert.
500g for $70 would = 50000 g product or 110 lbs
A box of escar-go or slugo costs about $30 5.5 lbs
Perhaps my math is wrong.
