my method mix consists of;
(in varying quantities, depending on what I've got handy, it all works!)

vitalin, about 50-75% of mix
trout pellet powder
small pellet/halibuts, half before mixing, half after.
ground hemp

then add small food items to mix.
any small cooked particle (hemp, wheat, etc)
corn
broken boilies, handful into quarters and smaller.

thoroughly mix, leave to stand for about 15mins, then remix, and test consistency. add a sprinkle of dry vitalin to stiffen mix, if needed.

all good food stuff, and will drag the carp to your swim.
you dont need a method feeder if your only lobbing out upto 40yds.
fishes really well just moulding a ball around your lead/leadclip, etc.
