We use bread in ours. We go to a local bread store and they sell the old bread for (I think it is) $4.00/ x-large trash can (about a 30gallon or so) and we sometimes get the donuts or sweets. We just break up the bread and put it in the buckets. It takes about 8 boxes of donuts or 5-6 loaves of bread. They will wipe it out in about 2-3 nights. It is cheap and easy. One evening there was 5 kittens up the feeder tree, when we was gonna fill it.

I tried the bread. Could buy a truck bed rounded over for 20 dollars. I think we used to big of feeders 55 gal drums. The stuff would start to ferment in a week or. Make the nastiest mess you ever saw.

frogs, crawdads, blackberrys, other dead animals, fish, bugs. i also decided to provide them with water via sloughs, branches, and the river. i've also growing out a crop of acorns for use later. since it's been hot i ain't even hunting so they can eat in peace.
all of this on zero dollars per month!!! natures bounty!
