What is a good routine for supplementing my Boxes? I have repcal Cal with D3 and Herpavite(sp) what should I do?
Here's what I do: I make a batch of 'salad', dusted with both the Rep Cal and vitamins, and feed them every 2-3 days.
The salad ingredients vary from week to week, but generally they are composed of a protein, vegetables, leafy greens and a little fruit. I try to include carrots or a squash of some sort as a reliable source of beta-carotene in every batch.
A week or so ago they had alot of blackberries (fresh picked).
I use supplements because I have no way of knowing how long ago some produce may have been harvested, which can affect nutrient content, or how under-ripe it was when harvested.
Regards
Stephanie
