Is there a way of attaching something to the bottom to catch the hull from the seeds?

Droll Yankees makes some seed catch trays to help with the issue of falling seeds.

Try utilizing a large aluminum pie tin fastened to the lower perch. To be frank, nothing works 100% because the seed hulls will be blown out of the pie tin even under the slightest of wind. You can also try an artificial grass mat directly under the feeder to trap the hulls, shaking it out every few days. Good luck!

If you are handy with tools you could use an old Aluminum pie pan, a bolt and a couple of large washers to attach the pan to the bottom of the feeder.

There is a place underneath in the center that fits a pole. Personally I thought that well wasn't deep enough to keep the feeder steady because of the weight of it when full of seed/nuts. It's supposed to work but I'm too cautious to try it on a pole.

You can have mine. Only small shelled sunflower seeds will fit through the mesh. Those with their hulls will not. Such seed is much more expensive, and the price difference is only worthwhile if you are feeding over a patio or some area that must remain hull-free.The product description says "Hold up to 6-7-pound of black oil sunflower, hulled sunflower, or sunflower mixes". The weight is probably right, but only hulled sunflower will ever get through the mesh.

No...there is no place to attach it. I saw online where a guy used fishing line to make his own tether. Maybe you can try something like that.

Unfortunatly, no. The seeds are the size of a pin tip and impossible to work with.

Have you tried it without a seed plate? Have you also tried to turn it inside the box by hand, could be something caught behind seed plate. Ruben

I would use the berry screen. The holes are smaller and will catch the grape seeds.

Some seed may fall through the mesh when filling the feeder. Once filled, little or no seed falls out - even in windy conditions.

I use a mesh seed guard like this one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=20947&cmpid=04csegpl&ref=6111&subref=AA&CAWELAID=525384260&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=530005150000090886&cadevice=c I got mine at a local bird supply store. They are pretty cheap and when they get dirty, you can throw them in the washing machine.

The top of the feeder pulls off very easily. There is a spring inside that prevents it from falling off completely. You can pour the seed in the top after removing it. I use a #10 tin can to fill it.

Please understand I'm no expert nor do I have a lot of experience and I think I made some errors. That being said, I did manage it by myself. I think a seed skirt would be a good idea

It has a plastic regulator that limits seed to opening. It is very functional.

I don't believe there is, within the context of the existing design. You could jury-rig something, I expect. Another drawback to this product, we have found, is there is no lip on the lower edge to rest one's work on.

Hi- Instead of hanging the seed ball by the S hook, I hang it by the "handle", the thing that looks like an upside down goal post. I then thread the S hook through the small, circular tab on the lid, then I thread the S hook through one of the very small circles at the bottom of the "handle" or goal posts, finally securing the tip of the S hook into one of the holes in the actual feeder or ball. This has worked without fail, as I have seen squirrels try to get into the feeder, even knocking it to the ground but the lid has always stayed secure. Hope this helps you.

There is no bottom hole. Using a piece of angle iron to mount it is what I did.

I use mind for artificial trees. You could try drilling little holes in the bottom
