 If you choose to use pots for your seed feeders, increase the amount of fat used to ensure the mix sets well and is less likely to break up once hung.
 Make the hanging thread:
 Use a needle to thread a length of cord through the pot and out of the base.
 Return the threa through the same hole and tie off into a knot.
When the pots are being filled, pack the fat & seed mix around the thread or string to secure it in place. |

|
 Melt the vegetable fat and add the dry seed mix.
 Stir well covering the seeds with the fat.
 Scoop out into the pots or a tray and pat down to compact the mix. |
