The Best Bird Feed to Avoid Unwanted Growth

If you’ve noticed unwanted foliage growing around where your bird feeder or bird table is located, you may want to look at getting a no grow mixture. No grow mixed bird food is a more affordable, non-propagating mix, which ensures you don’t find plants popping up in unwanted areas of your garden. Our no grow bird seed mix contains 20% sunflower hearts, flaked naked oats, pinhead oats, kibbled maise and rapeseed oil. It is best served scattered as ground feed or on bird tables. It can be used in feeders, but in wet conditions, it can become sticky and potentially clog up your bird feeder. This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is nogrowlarge.jpg
