Have any of you included a small or elaborate water feature in your garden. I always love the sound of water outside. It is so tranquil and relaxing! If so, what have you added?
Babble64, cost concerns keep me from creating a pond too
But I found an idea for a less expensive replacement:
Of course a pot like this it's not as lovely as a real pond, but it's still really nice
also one someone suggested to me, but i haven't tried it myself yet. if the water feature is small enough, with no plants (or maybe they could survive i don't know), someone i worked with said he filled his fountain with windsheild washer fluid. i don't remember if it was 100% washer fluid or some mix, but he said it turned the water a nice blue, and kept mosquitos from breeding in it.
I will update with a photo. Mine was from a Kmart, but they seem to be in most garden departments like at a Walmart or some of the home improvement stores. Some call them a "spitter" I see above and that is what it was a tube up from the pump and it came out the frogs mouth. Guess I could have ripped it out or pulverized him, but it seemed like to just cover him up did it. Check online now that you have a few names for it.Justusforus, this sounds really good! Could you take a few pictures of your creation? I would like to make something like this too, although I'm not sure if I'll be able to find and inexpensive pump here, in my area.
