I have used the Miracle Grow type feeders and have concluded they are all junk. Most leak horribly at the seal and to the extent they don't they seem to apply extra heavy at the outset and much weaker toward the end. There is inline fertigation equipment available, but not for $5. Having said all the above, if the Miracle Grow worked out for you, it shouldn't be any different with the FP. I can't see any reason why one being a concentrated liquid and the other a concentrated powder would matter much. It all boils down to how well the product mixes into a proper dilution. Now I have to ask an ignorant question. Does MG market their product for watering containers or small areas? I always thought they were for sprinklers and such where it didn't matter if the dilution was too high at the beginning and too low at the end as the entire amount was applied to the same area.

Dips are difficult. I almost always have to cross a ditch, so you have high sides and a deep trench in the middle. What ends up happening is the stakes in the fence never work out to plant one in the top of one of the ditch banks, so the fence folds down on the humps, but as long as it doesn't tough the ground it is OK (I scalp the grass on the humps). Other than the ditch itself, the sides are sloping enough that there is never more than a couple inches of gap to the ground, so I just leave the grass a little higher so it "looks" like there is really no gap. For the ditch, throwing an old fence post or board across the ditch in front of the fence does the trick sometimes I stick a few branches in the ditch also if there is no water flowing, and I've done the same where I ended up with more than a couple inches of gap on the sides--sometimes it took a 6 or 8 foot board to cross the gap. The post doesn't block the hole, it just forms an impediment that the sheep don't like to go under to get through. With pigs that are used to rooting, it might be different, though. You could take some dry wooden stakes or other non-conducting material to hold the electric wire up on the humps or notch it to hold the wire down in the dips, though.

Hello. I saw this post last week and considered responding because I have a feeder that is similar to this one. I bought it because it was beautiful, but also because I thought it was one that was recommended on this forum. Maybe not, though. Probably I just loved the way it looked. Anyway, I have had it for three years and have rarely seen a hummer on it. But yesterday evening, just after I got home from work, I was looking out the door to my deck and noticed a little hummer sitting on the perch and just feeding away. It stayed there for a long time and later, as I was passing the door, I saw it again. It's in a different spot from my other feeders, but I have tried it in various places. This spot is a shady one, for what it's worth.
