As a dedicated birdfeeder I have found that the area below a feeder doesn't
have to many flowers growing. The sunflowers have a chemical which is a
wonderful survival factor. They arrange it so that they will germinated but
nothing else. I have had to dig up the dirt and replace it the next growing
season. Another way to prevent the problem it to put shelled kernels into
the feeder then no problem with
the husks killing off the ground.
Have a good feeding season.
