fluffyknickers Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This is another one of my dumb questions but I like to check on here as often people say "oh yes I did that and dont do it because..." or "yes thats fine"!! In the shed I have a strong plastic dustbin with the bag of pellets in (in its paper bag), the pot of garlic and the bag of bokashi . When i have to fill up the Grub its a bit of a hassle so I wondered can i empty the pellets (bag from Omlet) and the whole bag of bokashi (wiggly wrigglers bag from omlet) and some garlic (would have to guess how much!) straight into the dustbin and mix it round so I can just scoop out the mix in to the grub?

The Dogmother Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 That'll be fine, although if you've got mice or rats in the area, I'd suggest a metal bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbird Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have a big bin for the layers pellets and a smaller bin which I mix an amount up in (pellets, garlic, poultry spice and a bit of bran) which I use for the daily refills - it's easier for me to carry up to the feeders in the coop. I don't see why you couldn't do that on a larger scale, as long as you used it all before it's 'best before' dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'd think you would be best mixing as needed. Pebbles and sand... you'll end up with all the bran at the bottom of the bin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have a massive mixing bowl from asda 90p, and i mix up what I need in that, then just scoop it into the grub from there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I mix mine up in tubs to save time in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I tried mixing it all up in a big bin but if it gets the slightest bit damp it clumps up somthing chronic! I now mix up a few days worth in a big tub at at time instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I keep my pellets/bokashi/corn in their bags in a metal bin in the shed but keep a supply in the kitchen all mixed up (pellets/bokashi/garlic/poultry spice) in a large plastic box like this . It doesn't get damp as it's in the kitchen and lasts a good few weeks so I don't have to do the filling up/mixing very often . It's also useful for putting the grub/glug on overnight!
