    I have some Monster Raxx mineral and the instructions say to loosen the soil and apply. The ground is frozen. Can I just kick the snow and leaves away and still apply or should I wait?

    If you want to do it now, you gotta get ground clear of debri (leaves, sticks and such) at minimum. The thawing of the ground and melting snow/rain will help get it into the soil.

    I am in WI as well. Were I to start a mineral site now, I would move the snow and debris. Pour down the supplement. Push the snow back over the top. Come thaw, it will be ready for business!

    I placed an uprooted tree stump in the middle of a spot that i removed the snow an everything else. Deer seem to be hittin it an the grounds still frozen solid here.

    Well my original plan was to just use A dead stump that was in the ground, but your one set of pics had a uprooted stump in the middle of greenery so I guess I sorta stole your idea hahahaha

    Started my first 3 mineral sites last Thursday. When the snow goes away i'm going to look into putting a couple uprooted stumps out.
