So how do you guys do it? I'm happy to share my technique but with 50+ plants I'm always looking for faster, easier, better ways of feeding them.
Right now, I start off with Betta pellets and reduce them to powder with a pill crusher. I take a needle-nose tweezer with the jaws held closed and dip it into the mound of powder - which results in a small amount of food balanced on top of the closed jaws. Then it's just holding the closed jaws over the hungry leaves and letting them open. The food drops in a fairly controlled manner, the spread determined by the height of the tweezer. I can usually do my collection in ten minutes or so.
Anybody else?
