Many of these recipes contain ingredients readily available in your kitchen or at your local hardware store or garden center.  You can also check livestock and farm feed and supply stores.  We recommend storing all mixes or even purchased ones, in a plastic pail with a lid to keep moisture and pests out. Attach labels or write directly on the pails with waterproof marker.
