2 parts Trace mineral salt, the red and loos kind without the medications.

-Dig or tear up a circle in the soil about 36 inches wide and about 6 inches deep.
-Mix your mineral mixture with the soil.

-Replenish in 6 months with fresh supply of mineral, and then each year there after."
That's where I got my original recipe from. I just don't do the rock salt.
Also, those prices are old. I think the DiCal I bought last year was pushing $30 a bag.
I put my ingredients in 5 gallon buckets with lids to store from year to year.
