Using a scissors or tin snip, cut the lip off the pot so that you have a smooth edge.

With a smooth edge, there is nothing for the squirrels to grab on to.

Cut a hole in the center of the bottom. Round hole for a round post that is 1/4 inch larger in diameter than the post. If a square wood post, make the hole square with 1/4 inch added to width and length.

...... Place your pot on the post upside down and you now have a squirrel proof bird feeder. Make sure your feeder is 6 to 8 feet away from adjacent branches or buildings; otherwise squirrels will learn to jump onto your feeder.

Enjoy !
