The essence of a country life hack
It would seem, how can an iron container and a fatty product have a positive effect on woody plants?
The answer is simple: the jar can act as a bird feeder, and the lard can act as food for the birds.
In other words, these things help to attract birds. The latter will destroy many pests that negatively affect fruit trees and shrubs.
Hang an iron can on a tree and pour grain into it. Not only a metal device, but also a plastic bottle can serve as a feeder.
A piece of lard can be placed in a container. Or it can be hung on a branch with a thread.
Tits really like this food: a fatty and high-calorie product that comes in handy during the winter.
