    I have been using this recipe for literally 8 years and it's fantastic. Never molds, doesn't stink and produces very well.

    When your driving do you go down to the house with the big tree and turn there and then go past the gas station I think the 7-11 but keep going… if you get to the bridge turn around you went to far… cross over that big parking lot and at the end you turn…. Keep going couple blocks and turn again… there was a white building they were painting but I’m not sure what color… but right after that that’s where your gonna turn again…. Go couple miles 2-3 might be 7 but any way your gonna know where you at and right after that is where you wanna be

      @LJsReef 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It was most likely calcium powder that you dust them with before feeding to your frogs/lizards. He probably uses that same container to dust them.

    I must have done something wrong all of mine I put with this mix died 🥺 it looked like there were clear larva on the insides bit timeline says they would have hatched if they were viable.
    Is it supposed to smell strongly of vinegar?

    Is that water mixed with vinegar? Also can you bag this and put it in the freezer for later use? I know you can with the mix that has brewers yeast and beer.

      @Jennngga 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just get it for this. Also if you enjoy baking, powdered milk is great to make loafs of bread! Powdered mash potatoes can be used as a thickener in some recipes. Oats is somethi g people use but can increase mold growth

      It's whatever you need it to be. As long as you stick with the ratio, it doesn't matter what you're measuring with.

    • @animallover5626
      @animallover5626 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s a normal thing people say when sharing recipes. Lol It’s a way of telling you the ratio and you decide how much you want to make.

    • @azerosblank5036
      @azerosblank5036 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is easier to work with. For example, if your Potato is 4 cups, or 400 grams, just ratio them. 2 cups or 200 grams Powdered Sugar and so on. Alternately, just mix your dried ingredients in an airtight container and store them in a refrigerator. The liquid you can prepare later (i.e 1/2 vinegar 1/2 water in a vessel, add to your cups with dried media until a slosh forms).
