I'm going to have a bit of a rest from carping until later in the year, and am going to do sone float fishing for Roach. I have bought a sack of brown crumb , and ground coriander and ground aniseed, I'm unsure how much of each spice to add to each kg of breadcrumb .
Has anyone got any experience of such a situation, I've looked online but can't find the quantities to add. T.I.A.

1-2% is plenty since your ground baits falls apart must faster than any boilie would do

Can't remember what it said now but it was something like a teaspoon or 2 per kilo as both are very strong.
Especially aniseed

Get hold of one of Archie Braddock's books.
‘Fantastic feeder fishing' would be a good start.

There was something special going on with his powder blends that's for sure
I once used one on a water that i had fished for years, attracted roach Rudd and crucians i think it was, a spice blend, anyway, first time out i was catching crucians that never really showed before

Thanks, will do.

This is turning out to be a lot more expensive than I thought it would. Oh for the days as a 7 year old, when I would go fishing for the day with a 30 year old cane rod, half a pint of maggots, a centre pin reel with some old 4lb line on it, and catch fish all day long.

+1 and @ scozza you're not wrong, backed up by a great story in one of his books re Roach.
Another of his books to look out for, Magic Book on Bait Flavourings

There's no science try it at different rates to see if it effects your catch . For a kilo I would add only up to 10-20%. Keep it cheap.
I would add ground hempseed to that mix too and keep it as dark as possible as sometimes roach dont like feeding over a light mix.
Molehill soil is a free addition (just needs riddling off).
