Hi - Thank you for all of your great comments. Do you know how much seed it holds? Thanks!

We can put almost 7 pounds of seed in it at once. We have maybe 3-4 cups left over in the bag. How long that lasts depends on how many birds we have around, but generally they go through that in 5 days or so. It does keep the squirrels out, but the messy birds scatter enough to keep them happy on the ground. As a bonus, bunnies seem to poke around for seeds too.

I fill it with a large plastic cup or just pour from a bag...I would estimate about 3 qts. It is really easy to fill. When we first set it up the squirrels tried to shimmy up the pole, but they no longer try that. They just eat what the birds kick out.

I do not know exactly and I do not know how they have counted the seeds, they are very tiny, but you get the results and each plant will produce at least 10,000 more seeds for future use or opportunity to give away as gift. By the way, you can not mess up the plating the seeds, they will grow like the wild ones without any care. I have just noticed (May 5th, 2015) they are coming back in the same area that I have planted last year. I hope, I have answered your question

I would say that it does hold approx 10 lbs of seed. The height I am not sure of but I can measure it for you tomorrow. If I was to guess...take a suet cake which is 5 inches in height add about 2 inches to the bottom and 4 inches to the top you are around11 inches high? I was very happy with how big this feeder was for the price of it.

Great question and I am honestly not sure. The package is so small, so it's hard to even guess how much of the package/seeds to use. They are so small it's hard to believe there are 26,000 seeds in this little package (about the size of a matchbox).

Not sure my last message went out. I have been very pleased with this seed and it does grow with very little soil. I simply rake the ground, plant the seed and have been very pleased with this product. Jim in Arkansas

The envelope I got was a little smaller than regular seed packet size. Just cause there's 26K seeds doesn't mean it's a large package, they are little larger than salt grains. You could put a whole pack in the wedding favor bag.

It holds a lot , maybe 12 cups or more. I stopped using the feeder because the squirrels ate most of the seeds.

I think it covered about 60 pounds. I put about 20 pounds of seed in a 5 gallon contain, pored in about 1/3 of the bottle and shook it up so it covered most of the seed.

The part that holds the seed is very strong plastic. The top is metal-it has a copper finish but not sure it's copper.

The box is fairly small... only about room for 6 clumps of plants. There are many more seed than you need and you could simply replace one planting with whatever you desire.

The batch I just received is not coated. I had ordered this previously and the seed was coated, so it seems that changed. In one pound there should be on average more than 750,000 seeds, so it's a lot. It should be enough for 2,000-8,000 square feet, depending on how thickly you want to sow.

The seeds are so small and many that there is no way to count each seed. I believe the package said 1,000. I can certainly tell you they did not all germinate. However, enough did to make me happy. I would buy this product again.

I'm sorry I don't know I didn't ask the seller. But the rule of thumb on food storage the seeds are good for up to 15 yrs. I hope this helps.

This needs to be answered by supplier. I get the seeds, I planted seven, out of seven two is growing, if this helps. Thank you.

There is no seed in it. We actually used in in an area that needed some structure to the soil. It did great and we could mow right over it.

Quite a few but, I never counted. The seeds are very small as well.Plenty though to grow a good amount.

I wish I could answer your question, in terms of "area" or square-footage, but at this time I am merely storing the seeds. In terms of immediate usage my yard in under several inches of snow and ice so I can't answer your question accuartely and I apologize. My primary intent upon purchase was for short-term storage...which may turn into long-term stroage at this point.
