when to feed, what formula to feed and especially when not to feed. For cold zone ponders they are a God send. No trudging outside in a blizzard.

The remote senders have to be protected from rain. Neither manufacturer supplies any weatherproof covering. You have to devise your own. Note: You can't enclose the remote sender in a plastic bag. The condensation that forms wrecks the circuitry. I mounted the senders on wooden stakes. I used a cheap clear plastic goldfish bowl and an empty clear plastic plant food jar, mounted upside down on the top of the stake over the sender. Works great and doesn't look terrible either. The sender is to the left of the Japanese lantern. I'm sure y'all can get your stakes straighter.
