Title: Hand Held Seed Feeder
Post by: bobbyt on January 22, 2021, 17:18

Not sure if I posted this in right place, couldn't find anywhere else.
Anyone tried one of these on the allotment.

Just wanted to know if they work, its very cheap, so is it one of those ' you get what you pay for ' things I wonder? Always have trouble with the smaller seeds, its an age thing with the eyesight I think!

Yes, I've used one and I'm quite impressed.  I found it worked if I held it in my right hand and tapped the back of that hand with my left.

I also have a plunger style seed dispencer, a bit like a sample bottle with plunger!

Cheers,  Tony.

Thanks Kleftiwallah,
Was that the exact same one? Saw the plunger thingy, does that do the same job?

I use one too, they are pretty good, still get the odd rush of seed but on the whole for the money well worth it.
