JM Mineral Mix

  1. Clear a 3-foot diameter area.
  2. With a shovel or rake, remove the top 2-3 inches of soil.
  3. Apply 3/4 of the bag and mix lightly with soil.
  4. Apply the remainder of the bag on top.

Note: Reapplying Mineral Mix is important as it is habit forming and the deer will only habitually return if mineral is available.
