Rita - Putting the food on the driveway.. don't you just drive over it & turn it into dust? Or do the birds eat it up that fast you don't have to worry about it? When I move feeders, it usually take the birds 2-3 weeks to figure it out. If I put the food on my driveway, it'd sit there forEVER! Plus I don't want to attract any more mice than necessary. Haven't had mouse problems this year 'cuz of the thistle-only policy I created for myself but in years past I had pretty bad mousey problems due to the millet seed.
