under somekind of a cover you put it under to protect it from the elements?

Just take a hammer and "chunk it". What I've seen is about fist size, or baseball size. You won't get nice even chunks but it's not "art". Just throw it in heavy cover or brush. wallah!

Ant, I use the 4# bricks . I use the bracket made for the 4# bricks and atatch it too the base of a tree near thick cover. It leeches out from the tree over time, and seems to be more favorable to the rabbits than big chunks. But if you don't keep it in the cover, deer will paw the area and make a water hole. I use the mineral -- apple type slat blocks.

Has anyone ever used salt pelletts? Happened to see these at the wal-mart the other day for water treatment. Thought if they worked it would be easier to spread out in the honeysuckles and fence-lines. Anyone have any experience with it?

Hey Ant....have heard of guys soaking pine boards in a salt brine and after they've been thouroghly soaked nail them to bottom of fence post and the rabbit chews on the board for the salt. Just an idea.

I have the 4 lb. blocks. i took my battery powerd saw, and cut them in
5 peices and drilled a hole in the ends. I use electrical ties to attach to
tree limbs close to ground or underbrush, in areas where there has been
lots of rabbit tracks or were I run.

I have heard salt pellets for water conditioners work fine and much easier to usel.
