Fenris Posted September 29, 2015 I tried wheat but it gets a bit sticky and doesn't drain that well, I had some good success with millet & sorghum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
migraineur Posted September 30, 2015 You don't have to use rye. There are numerous other grains that you can use and you often see them mixed together in wild bird seed which is what many people use. I have used wheat for years without problems. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Posted October 11, 2015 Rye is expensive where I live. If you can't find rye there are alternatives. But exactly what alternative works best would depend on the species that you are trying to grow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Presidente Hillbillios Posted October 11, 2015 if your buying wheat from a feed place here in aus there are different kinds> i think maybe thats what accounts for the differences of opinion in using wheat usually. Feed wheat can be pretty crappy or can be just whats over produced better quality stuff. If you buy "prime hard" then its better quality. but i think importantly its been better looked after. Hasnt been wet and dried out after harvest Wheat worked for me for years and years too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
