How do you keep weeds from overwhelming your garden under a bird feeder?

Posted by admin
Joanna S asked:


I mix sunflower seeds and wild bird feed into a large feeder hanging from a low tree. The birds kick the seed out onto the ground and I’m constantly weeding this spot to remove thousands of sprouts. Is there some nifty way to keep the ground cleared under a bird feeder?
