We recently put a pondless water feature in our backyard. I got the idea from
This was a really simply project. We sunk a feed bucket in ground. Put in a solar pump. Put in an auto-fill float valve like you use in the toilet. Ran the hose over to the faucet and buried it. We put a barbecue grate over the bucket and ran the tube up the grate and up the center of the rock. Then we covered the grate with rocks. The panel for the solar pamp is off to the side on the arbor.
Oh, how lovely!
Thanks, Cindy.
that is beautiful! Great job!
Thanks!
You’ve been peeking in my brain. Srsly, your pondless water feature is exactly like the image that ignited the novel I’m brainstorming.
Maybe I’ll have to change one of the character’s name from Majorie to Susan:)
LOL. That’s too funny! I need to see if I can get some better pics. This one was through the glass.
I am going to have to borrow this idea. I have a small pond but I would love something like this elsewhere in my yard. I love the little bird enjoying the shower!
It was great fun to do and I’m looking forward to doing the next one in the front yard.
Now see every time I put in a solar pump it burns out by the end of the summer. Even if I manage to keep the water in it, I get lime buildup to the point that it can’t run anymore.
Which means I need to get another one. And a proper pond kit. And, you know, sufficient cooperation from the body to get all this done

Well this could burn out too since it’s only been on a couple of months. We’ll see.
I really want a pond but this yard is so tiny I can’t find a place for it. I had hoped the wine barrel pot ponds would help but they don’t. I don’t like them much.
I’m going to show this to my husband. I want one!
I thought you might. š
