Maybe I just haven't found it yet, but is there a printed instruction sheet for willow feeders? I am building a house and would very much like to include a willow feeder.

Indoor?

We have an indoor willow feeder.  Have you seen the tour at https://permies.com/tour ?

There are also a few threads that show details from the building of the indoor Willow Feeder at Cooper Cabin, but I can't recall them off hand. If you encounter any questions on specific aspects of constructing a WF, you are welcome to post them in the wiki thread on the subject. Hopefully that can prove a guide and a source for a more helpful document covering the subject...
