Molehill Soil help

[TF_back shotParticipant]

I am wanting to use B&J with a 50/50 mix of leam and molehill soil for a winter league match sunday at Hallcroft fishery.

My question is which soil is the best to collect and whats the best way to prepare it, for feeding.

Any help would be appreciated.

any molehill, riddle it, add some grey leam, put some joker in, feed. job done

Im no bj expert but Ian Heaps told me that molehill soil collected anywhere near a road will contain alot of salt. Salt obviously kills bloodworm real quick, so try and collect from a remote field or something.

if your worried about the salt just buy a bag of terre

collect it from a river/canal bank.finely riddle it.mix three pints with a large drennan pot of grey leam and mix thoroughly adding water with an atomiser until it just starts to “ball” up.that should do the trick.

Thanks for replys guys, they are a great help. Just to further my question could a ground bait be added to the mix just befor feeding.

ive used on the river without b/j.
mix your groundbait with water.
riddle your soil seperate to get the lumps out but dont wet it.
then riddle equal parts of soil and grounbait mix it all together
and should be job done

It all depends on where you get the soil from. I personnaly like a black soil that is relativly heavy not like pete. Some soil will be to clay like to use and is hard to riddle then clogs up when it is attomised. Some will be too light such as pete based earth so wont do the job you are using it for. Its trail and error. The top anglers round my way keep there hills location top secret. Be wary from getting them from near roads as mentioned as the salt from grit kills joker. And watch out for fields that get sprayed by with incepticides like golf courses and farmers fields. Once you have found some good soil collect some, dry it out at home riddle it when it is relatively dry then attomise it when you need it ont he bank.

It depends on what you want the molehill soil to do: If you are on a river then a more claylike soil could be better like a terre de rivierre but a shallow canal could mean looking for a lighter weight, black, almost peatlike.

There are some fields near the Oxford Canal at Claydon that are on a steep incline and they used to have peaty hills at the top and more claylike at the bottom.

I used to go there and bag a load and store it in a chest freezer as it was spot on for each application I wanted… If you don’t freeze it it goes mouldy! What’s all that about then? Never seen a mouldy field! lol
