I read this and found it interesting so decided to try it out today.
I used a bayou which runs along side where I work for my testing area. (if you dont know what a bayou is, think of a creek) The conditions were not perfect as we had just had a huge storm 24 hours prior and the water level was up still and the normally almost non existant current was noticeable today.
I crushed up about a good hand ful worth of the root at least and dropped it into the water where I saw many minnows frolicking about. I tried to find an area that was as still as possible, but at least half of the root quickly began to drift down stream.
Also, obviously the water was murky, as water will be after heavy rains, so even if one of the little guys had succumbed to the root, there was a good chance I may not have noticed him.
But
ly, I didnt notice any little fishes become ensnared in my deadly little cocktail.
So with the poor conditions aside, I am here with a few more questions.
Mainly how much of the root is suggested to crush up, and also, roughly how long should it take to work? Also, any idea how long you could keep the ginger root with you before it would lose its potency?
I plan on trying again in a few days once the conditions return to normal, but any insight into this would be grand.
Thanks.
