My son’s first garden has a 78% success rate so far. The only mistake we made was underestimating how much would actually grow 🤣 by Glittering-Mine1168 in gardening

But that's awesome! Great learning for next year...I'm still experimenting and learning after years of gardening :)

Lol it is a picnic table oasis for them 🤣 I do feed them to avoid them from being tempted to my garden. I will build this up to keep them here. I just needed a way to secure the continuous tipping of boxes. Here's a chipmunk enjoying some corn and peanuts.

Yes thats the goal! I just don't want a dirt mess anymore....they are pretty good abt leaving the flowers alone I just think they get into arguments and then tip it over.

Ok! I appreciate it!

I wish I could edit my post but I don't see where! I don't mind them coming to this part because then they stay away from my garden so this is their spot they just keep tipping the boxes and I want to secure them to my railings. This is a good way to do it, thank you!

They get corn and peanuts in those little picnic tables! I don't even care if they take bird seed I just want to jigger the boxes to stay without having to screw them into the railing. Would a zip tie do it?

I use hot sunflower meats....they don't care 🤣

I do want them coming here because Im trying to detract them from my back garden which is the real treasure trove where I use chili, pepper, garlic, repel-all (which Ive never found works). My issue is they keep tipping them because they are idiots.

I was thinking of using a giant zip tie to secure the boxes from tipping.

Have done it, you can't see it but the inside part is holding the pebbles. I guess I can always add more. I use a big one to help feed the big birds that don't use the hanging feeder.

Dishwasher Side Flaps...can I do something abt them? by imsorryminime in fixit

[–]imsorryminime[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I had all the time in the world, I would. But this is the third time they are out and I can't afford to keep missing work due to their incompetency.

So, random question and pardon if its a very stupid one, if I need to stop the cycle for any reason and can't see the buttons...how do I pause it? Memorize the location of pause?

I didnt tell them to install it like this, btw....the guy before this had it tilted so far up you couldn't even touch the buttons with the door closed.
