Wow all the negative comments... Guys it's obviously a blueprint on how you can get a water feature built without hiring professionals. That's why it's called a DIY. You can add and change anything you want on this feature, they are just helping you understand the process. I think the video was great and it helped me Thanks!

Wow i loved this water feature video, it also gave me an idea for making a planter just below the soil surface 😀

I was so much wide- eyed waiting on how the fountain works, but quite incomplete. But anyway, thanks for the beautiful idea Sir. Great work!

Why don't you use more powered pump in order to make the water feature more visible? Because at the end of this video, I expect more, but I don't see where was the flowing water ^_^

I like how people in these videos are always able to keep their clothes clean while digging in dirt.

Couple if things. Should have had a route under the river stones so you could hide the power. Second you should have a small hole in the pot so all of the water can drain back into the underground container when the pump is not running. Less water loss over time and no mosquito laying eggs in areas you have to worry about them.

This is a great basic tutorial,
I’m adding a sculpture that the water will come out of
Thank you!

The best mosquito nursery I believe I have ever seen.

I like the whole the way he explained it but at the end I’ll put my own creativity on this water falling out the pot making it more exciting. So I will take the first and middle project explanation and then put my own final result because yes it could be done better

The effort was there but the outcome left something to be desired. Clogged drains flow faster than that. I don't think I would call this a 'water feature'.

I have been scrolling around to try and find the end result. I cannot find it.

I love the cement around the water feature! Never thought about doing this...But my question is with it being so low to the ground do you have much problem with yard drainage causing problems that might flow into the water feature?

[corpse]

All is 👌 but the hose us to tall thats why pump cant make water feature and you can trow rocks above the pot so you can see cement and rocks but water feature is bad

[Brodzzzzz]

Should have just left the stones out of the top bucket.. and let the water flow onto the stones below and kept the bucket straight?

[chrisescobar]

Very good idea but the end result was pretty sad. A stronger pump would make the water flow better and it project would have been awesome.

good video
ignore all the glass-half-fulls...

[richardbrown]

All that excellent planning and a massively disappointing trickle of water….😢😢😢

[antoinettescott]

Omg, that's amazing .. I wish we were partners, friends etc .. I love these natured stuff 🇯🇲

[RonaldoBagaRonnie]

And where is soothing sound of the water?

Where I live, a fountain like this would flood with mud and muck after every rain storm.
