Handy Devices

Danny Kirkland, Phenix City, Alabama, found his solar fish feeder would not distribute feed after a rain. The rain would work its way down into the feeder, getting the feed wet and clogging the feeder. Kirkland scavenged up an empty 30-gallon plastic drum and cut it to fit over the feeder and the wooden pole supporting the feeder. It is clogged no more after a rain, and the drum also works to keep the raccoons and squirrels from chewing through the cover of the feeder.
