[IBC] new use for ice cube trays
 

Last year was my first attempt at making my own fertilizer cakes. They crumbled when I tried to seperate them, even though I cut grooves into them to help in seperating them. So this year I tried something new. I made the mix up and packed it into ice cube
trays.
They popped out today nicely, although they look like an ice cube. But it seemed to work just great.

Thought I would pass it on in case anyone wants to try it.

Neal,
try adding some flour to the mix. If mixture is moist and flour mixed good
it really glues them together. BTW, the more flour, the longer they last
before crumbling.
There's a good recipe at my webpages, or I can email you a newer updated
copy with a few changes.

So this year I tried something new. I made the mix up and packed it into ice
cube trays.

seemed to work just great.

That sounds like a capital idea!
Make sure they don't mistakenly get popped into that rum & coke!
ycch!
