🐦 the birdies on my balcony would be tweeting mad for this! Absolutely Brilliant loved the solar-powered option 👌

[elizabethtrihub]

Love it!!!! I'm putting these everywhere!! Backyard and front yard. By the grill, by the green house, love it ❤️❤️❤️

Wow super! I love that Solar Powered Fountain in the first project... Amazon, here I go on the search 😊
Ok, yay, Amazon has them 💃

[Angie-cilp]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE her fountain!!!! She has great ideas!

Thank you both for the great video! I think I would personally use a dremmel tool to make a "U" shape in the lip of the planter for the water pumps power cord to rest in the "groove" instead of being in a bind with all the weight of the water and rock filler. I believe over time, it could cause wear in the cord with extreme heat. Water & electricity is not a good combination. Also, I would use a plexiglass cover over my electrical outlet to prevent splashes of water to my outlet 🔌🚱😳😬

I just bought a house in a very dry climate. This would be the perfect thing for me to do on my patio out back!

[penelopehammerton]

Wow, you have taught me something new today, I must find a space for a water feature like this. Thank you.

We just signed on a house. Planning a garden out front. This will be a perfect center piece. Thanks.

Agree with the drilling a small notch for the cord in the bottom most tray. 🙂
For piece of mind I think I might add two bricks to the bottom pot, one to the middle, and a half to the top one (and maybe on the top tray). I know water (& rocks) are heavy but we get some weird critters. They knock over things many times their size / weight!
I couldn't tell from the video, but you said the water spills over the edges, yes?
That makes me think of two possibilities.
One, use lava rocks around the edges, this may allow butterflies and bees a safe place to land and drink.
Two, you might just be able to squeeze some 4inch pots around the lower two edges at least. They may need to be wrapped in something (landscape fabric?) to keep the dirt out of the water. Something small and water loving. Watercress, creeping jenny, basil (?), chives (?), ... I'm sure there's many others but its way past bedtime lol, brain not working so good. So I'll leave it at that. 🙂

That’s nice and simple, you gave me an idea with the pot tray on how to separate the bottom of the big pot with the upper section.Thanks for the video 👍

[naubaucat]

Those are such awesome ideas!! You had me at Darth Vader, love Star Wars. Thanks for the great ideas, and directions.

[Ms._Purple_Apple]

I like the rock and lantern you did the best. But like you said, your imagination is endless.👍⭐️

[sandrahbradley]

Oh my goodness thank you so much I wanted to create a water feature using solar this is brilliant. Blessings 💜

[rosiegold]

What brilliant people!! Thank you for the informative and helpful video!!

[pinkakagreen]

I'm doing this. Omg. This is the best hack Home talk has ever

[Moon..Shadow]

To get your holes the right size, use a soldering iron. Draw your circle using your tubing as the pattern. A soldering iron is also great to put holes in pots that don't already have holes or to add more drainage.

This is something I never knew I needed and I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THIS

[tlea]

I really like the first fountain.. it’s very do-able...the second one is really beautiful but I’m older so the gentleman’s version is simpler and I think I will be able to do

[mariamercy]

Oh goodness, I'm excited about this. A friend of mine made me a water well out of auto tires. I was thinking of what I can place in the well that's not plants. This solar powered fountain is the best 😊

[TekuilaM]

That's Awesome!! Thank you for the idea.
