LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, Nov. 11

Add a post-top bird feeder to the patio. To create a removable, winter-only, pole-mounted bird feeder that can be easily be removed in the summertime, first create a telescoping base. Select a 2-foot length of galvanized pipe wide enough to accept the pole for the bird feeder. Install the pipe vertically in the soil next to the patio and fix it solidly with poured concrete.

During the feeding season, the pole-mounted bird feeder is slipped into the pipe base in the ground. When summer comes, remove and store the pole feeder but keep the pipe clear with a rubber bathtub plug over the opening.
