  • Although I've done a pond this year, I still have so much planned for outside. This DIY Fountain wasn't on my radar originally, but I think it was a great addition to the lineup! It's a great example of what you can make with a little elbow grease and a solid idea. Plus, it's great to have the sounds of waterfalls on the property again! My wife and I have missed the sounds of our ponds since we moved, but this solves that issue for now.
    Anyway, join me in this fun tutorial as I show you how I transformed a few planter pots into a beautiful, living piece of art. Enjoy!

    I’m really excited to share this one with you! It was an idea I came up with on a whim, but I really like how it turned out. It was also a great way to use old materials I’ve had sitting around the house. What do you think of the project? Let me know! In addition to this, I can’t wait to show you some of the other things I’ve been doing outside. Cool stuff in the works! Until then, enjoy the video and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

    Your neighbours must LOVE you! You're single-handedly beautifying your property's "curb appeal", and hopefully others will be inspired to learn from you! But also you're doing it in an environmentally friendly way. Where I live (in a condo), there are fountains and water features out back, but they pour chlorine into them to keep away algae and creatures. It makes me annoyed that they do that.

    That’s a transformation! The base already looks very pretty, cool and refreshing with the mix of plants and stones. I was expecting a plant or two in the highest pot to have it act as a ‘bog filter’ and help keep the water clean, but maybe the flow rate is too high and/or not the look you had in mind. I wonder whether the moss will creep up the pots over time too.

It has been a little tricky, I had it up and running but I used some granite from a kitchen project I had laying around. It looked great for a few days then I woke up to it sitting in the sump, lol. Version 2 coming up, thanks for the inspiration.
