Preparation of hemp and all seeds such as partiblend, red band and pigeon conditioner
- Soak the seeds in a large bucket of water (twice the volume of the seeds) and leave for a minimum of 12 hours but preferably overnight.
- Boil for 20 to 30 mins and allow to cool.
- Drain off the excess water. They are now ready to use.
If you want to use them soon they can be kept in a sealed bucket and they will last between 4 to 7 days. Store them in a cool place and do not leave in direct sunlight.
You can also freeze them in bags if you do not wish to use them straight away. Be assured that freezing them does retain all the natural goodness. Simply remove them from the freezer the night before you wish to use them.
If you want to use them in PVA bags, you might like to try this idea. Take a couple of good handfuls of seed and lay them on a cloth. Let them partly dry for approx 30 mins then add a mixture of different sized pellets or ground bait to soak up the excess water. The mixture is now ready to go. You could also add some flavours of your choice and some chilli flakes (but not too much!) for that extra zing. You can add almost any additive or oil you want, but remember too little of the extras is better than too much.
f all this sounds too messy to do at home then why not let us take the hassle away and do it for you.
