BuckWheat

Haven't used hemp seed for a few years now, became to expensive and quality seemed to drop too.

I am now using my own spomb mix, over method feeders, was very impressed how the buckwheat 'resembled' large hemp seed when cooked, might be worth a try for others on here?

I'm using up some old hemp, maize and tigers this year so once it's gone I'll have a look at that 👍

Hemp quality has definitely dropped. It is smaller, harder to split and just doesn't seem as effective.

I love standard birdfoods, although the additional aniseed ones are even better.

Buckwheat is a good choice mixed with crushed maize and birdfoods.
