Comments (0)Image by: bouncingpig Teacup Birdfeeder - A Variation Teacup and Saucer Light Sconce Birdfeeder Member bouncingpig tell us how she made her teacup birdfeeder on a tree: The old brass light was found for 50 cents at a garage sale. I removed all the wiring from the light, spray painted it white and then using Pro-Series SF 450 heavy duty sub-floor & construction adhesive, I first glued the teacup to the saucer and then glued the saucer to the light. The light already had holes that worked perfect for the prisms. Then I just screwed it directly into our tree. It was so simple to make! (and it looks great too!)...See MoreAre Plant pot saucers necessary?
Comments (10)My experience with using the saucers has more to do with drainage and staining. Fertilizers and amendments can stain cool decks and patios so any containers standing on cement will have a saucer or some type of catch basin... even if the catch basin is another plant. I'm a big fan of watering-thru. Some plants are on stands and as they drain the water drips onto another plant below. Most of my roses are in containers and they're placed over the root zones for trees so the water drains from the roses to the shrub or tree roots below. During summer I move the containers to the in-ground rose beds and the water from the containers supplements the irrigation system and they all provide some shade and additional moisture retention for each other. The biggest issue I have with using saucers is the mosquito breeding ground the can develop. All of my containers are planted with a layer of weedcloth over the drainage holes then 2-4 inches of loose drainage material, such as redwood bark, pine needles, charcoal or gravel. This allows the soil to stay in, the water to drain out and keeps grubs, cockroaches or whatever other critter to stay out....See MoreUser
