Henry Bell No Mess Mix 12.55kg

Henry Bell No Mess Mix – 12.55kg

The sack: 12.55kg of husk-free mix, which on a two-feeder garden is a winter's worth and works out at a fraction of the small-bag price per kilo. Everything in it is edible, so what lands under the feeder gets cleared up by ground feeders instead of building into a mat of sunflower shells.

It is a lower-fat blend than Henry Bell's No Grow Mix — 10.92% against 26.24% — which makes it the everyday staple rather than the cold-snap ration. Buy it as the base of a feeding station and hang fat balls or peanuts alongside for the hard weather.

Performance & Benefits

• All husks and waste removed before packing, so nothing inedible falls to the ground.
• The largest bag Henry Bell make of this mix, at the lowest cost per kilo.
• 11.0% crude protein and 10.92% crude fat — an everyday feed rather than an emergency one.
• Sunflower hearts for the tits and finches, millet and dari for ground feeders.
• Same formulation as the 1kg, 2kg and 4kg bags.
• Feeds from a tube, a bird table or scattered on paving.

Suitable For

• Robins, starlings, blackbirds, nuthatches, chaffinches, blue tits, tree sparrows, dunnocks, greenfinches, coal tits, siskins, great tits, song thrushes, goldfinches and bullfinches.
• Feeding stations in daily use through the year.
• Paved yards, decking and gravel, where husk litter is impossible to sweep up.
• Households with dry, rodent-proof storage for a sack this size.
• Not high enough in fat for a hard frost on its own — Henry Bell No Grow Mix at 26.24% fat, or the Insect Oil Balls, do more in freezing weather.

Feeding

• Decant into a sealed, dry container. A lidded bin keeps rodents out.
• Fill tube feeders, spread on a bird table or scatter on paving.
• Feed all year and keep it regular once you have started.
• Clean feeders and tables with a bird-safe hygiene spray and clear away damp feed.
• Keep fresh, clean water available every day.
