Hello April it could be corn or millet, barley, sunflowers. Usually the contents are on the packets. I hoe regularly below the feeders. If you can, move them around a bit too. I don't have much choice of siting but it is supposed to be cleaner.

My feeder is on the lawn and I dont find I get any growth.

yep all the time!! read the packet and see what it could be

eerrrmmm havn't actually had any yet, but spend so much time sitting wondering things, thought i'd ask others if they had...but...when my gardens done I will keep watch...

Biggest problem with feeding the birds, as far I'm concerned, the damned things pop up in all my containers, mostly grass like cereal plants and once a hemp plant.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sits and wonders. I've got a lot of black seeds (the name of which fails me a the moment) all over the plants - honestly those gold finches are so untidy, oh yes its niger seeds. I wonder what they look like when they grow -just looked it up and its some kind of herb from India. If the hemp comes up I wonder if you'd get arrested for it - I wonder!!!

don't know, just potting up six bags now. lol

What, six bags of cannabis, April?

oh , is that what hemp is?

Coooolll...............................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :))))...:

Not really, hemp's slightly different from proper cannabis, April...
