BEWARE What You Need To Know, How To Make Hummingbird ENDLESS Water Fountain Bird Bath Solar Powered
#hummingbirds #solarfountain #robbieandgarygardeningeasy
I made a hummingbird fountain, but, instead of hummingbirds… I have bees! I don’t mind so much. Bees here in the desert need water for sure. A couple weeks ago I bought 2 turkey basters, installed them on the big hummingbird playground I made with a cookie sheet. But the bees have taken it over! My hummingbirds love my 5 foot tall copper fountain that is shaped like a yucca plant. Water comes out the top and trickles down the “blossoms” and drips off the spikey leaves into a big copper basin. I have built numerous solar and electrical water features in my yard.. but the copper fountain is the one the birds love! Today I built the “hanging” fountain. It is hanging on a shepherds hook with a regular bird feeder and a hummingbird feeder. Now I want to make a kcup bubbler!
Thank you for caring about the bees! Not too many people stop and realize just how much their numbers are dwindling. 😞
I wish we could share pics! I'm doing electroculture in my vegetable garden so I have a lot of copper and brass wire to be creative with bird baths. My problem isn't the bees coming around, I welcome them, it's the wasps that are loving my fountains. I don't want them and I'm highly allergic! I haven't found any positive qualities they have for my garden.
@@synergy2222 I have some strange winged bug that I can’t identify and I keep hoping it isn’t something that stings because it’s bringing its friends! 😱
I would love to see your fountains. They sound amazing.
@@synergy2222 Re wasps, “The Valuable Role Of Wasps In The Environment: 3 Ways Wasps Are Beneficial
Here are 3 ways in which wasps are beneficial both to people and the ecosystem as a whole:
Pollination
Natural pest control
Symbiotic relationship with other creatures.”
I hope that is helpful. Wasps get a bad rap, but they are good. However, I do understand if you are allergic, you must protect yourself. “Wear light-colored, smooth-finished clothing. Avoid perfumed soaps, shampoos, and deodorants. Don't wear cologne or perfume.” I hope that helps.
You are a genius! A joyful genius! Thank you for sharing your inventions.
I made two today! I’m so happy you showed me how! We’re in the midst of temps over 100 and drought! My hummers need these! More pumps coming in the mail! You got me at “hummer”!
Thanks again.

❤ Beautiful ❤️
I like when you share your great ideas with us. Thank you Robbie
Very cool stuff!
You should make the bowl bigger, 3 to 6 inches. They don’t have enough room to bath. They’re love it.
Easy to fill hummingbird feeders
TQ 4 SHARING & I agree w ALL the sweet comments💘. Q. how do u clean the solar pumps? Mine doesn't get as much action as urs 😂 & grows algae. I've tried alcohol & vinegar w toothbrush. Algae really clings to that dern thing!!!😝
I have asked this question before. In a neighborhood with lots of outdoor cats
WHAT is your question? ❓
Her question that’s not been answered: what to do when Cats hunt & kill birds, use fountains for their thirsty needs. There are abandoned, feral cat too. ANSWER from my Many trials - U cannot have a water fountain as shown.
If U use stone or really stable fountain, it’s not the birds who benefit but their predators ; ie,raccoons, rats, crows squirrels, cats. Birds will stay away from fountain . I stopped using my costly stone fountain when I saw it was being used at night by every cat, squirrel, raccoon , skunk, etc in the area. Birds stayed away until I bought custom copper TALL 3 ft high delicate fountain. Then all mosquitoes came, esp cursed aedes mosquito which eats ALL HUMMERS nectar flower food. Native mosquitoes are bird food except for the invasive aedes species due to its tiny size & invisible eggs. It’s Weaponized manmade pest that usu bites lower legs & visually remembers person with fav blood type. Uploader lives in a canyon but in USA & SoCal aedes is everywhere.
If one truly wants to give hummers water, use timed mister placed among flowering vines so hummers have cover from predators . It’s costly but only way to guarantee Hummers benefit. Aedes will benefit regardless, so take precautions for water excess, spraying vines nor have sand catch dripping water to stop aedes breeding cycle.
In this global hottest summer in over a century, wildlife needs our help.
I used a medicine cup
Hi ! I used a small funnel, it fit perfectly in the straw, didn’t need any glue! Worked like a charm! Thanks for the idea !
Oh yes, I do that here too, and many more ideas and tips coming, thanks
A funnel! That is a great idea!!!! Plus the funnel is larger.
Omg I NEED to find a dollar store toy boat and have a pirate ship with the bubbler as the crow's nest!
That would be fun!
You are brilliant! I know I say that every video but you are.
What an awesome video of the Oreo bathing. We laughed so hard.
Your videos are better than NatGeo ❤
I should put the whole video up on that bird, maybe I will during the week, Thanks!
You call it junk mail. I call it scare mail.scared there are bills
You made my day. I started a wildlife garden/gardens a few years ago and learning as I go. I found out if you leave your yard untouched all year every year in about a 20’ radius. Our endangered lightening bugs will start using your untouched area to make their home. They need untouched land a year, because it takes that long for their life cycle to go around and most people don’t understand this and lightening bugs are disappearing rapidly. The cicadas use the area as well. They too have an all year life cycle and can’t be disturbed or they’ll die
out. So I started thinking “ I need more water for the birds and bees. My bird bath doesn’t cut it. It needs to be filled and cleaned daily. I love all your ideas! I can’t wait to do this. My bird will be so happy, especially the cardinals. They’re obsessed with flowing water.
I hear you. I don’t even mow my back yard, maybe once a year. It naturally dies back in the winter, I’ve found. I throw out wildflower seeds (well, I try, but the birds eat 99.9% of them🙄. I put out especially water, seeds, I do mow the front, but I’m happy to see that more people are allowing them to get a bit shaggy during spring. They put up the no mow March signs or whatever. I have a lot of trees in my yard for an urban area, and I let them be, as much as I can, anyway, and let the dropped leaves just stay there until well into spring so the bugs can have a safe place to winter over and be food for the birds , a bit of a dichotomy lol. I do have to clean them up eventually, there is a lot in a small area, and it’s a fire hazard. But every little thing helps, eh? I do my clean up once a year, when the leaves are very dry. And not bare ground, I try to leave just a little. I figure that’s the safest time. The chicks/bugs/whoever are done. Blessings to the people out there who care about this kind of thing, we take their survival, and should help out in any way we can.
Oh my goodness, I've never known that about the lightning bugs! Thanks for the tip!
Dear Ms. Robbie 🙂 I imagine you going through life, doing the most mundane of things, and then something hits your eye, and BAM! New fountain design. It's such a joyful way to live! Thank you for all the smiles you bring to our faces.
I have stocked up so much stuff to make so many of your fountains that is almost confusing, where to start! LOL Turvey basters..check. Straws…check. Flower pots…check. And tubing, soldering, iron, etc. Now, this shoe box one is confusing me most because of the inverting of the lid. It looks like (to me) that it DOES have the manufactured indented pool right there on top, so why can’t the holes just be inside that margin, avoiding the edge all around the outside? I want to do this one because it obviously will hold more water than some other things AND it will be more stable in our sometimes high winds. Please advise as you’re the pro at these marvelous feeders! 😊
Always so full of creative, fun ideas! I like that it is small and hummy-sized.
Perfect size to mount on a solar fountain, Thanks!
Thanks so, sooooo much for the fabulous videos! Made two this morning…one for myself, one for my mom. Not sure I can post pics but will try. Paid about $10 for each solar pump, then two decorative buckets from Dollar Tree, and a four-pack of plates. Picked up a 20-pack of jumbo straws for about $2. Would opt for another kind in the future. Mine were “eco-friendly” and although they did work, they’re rather brittle. I grabbed empty, cleaned out goat cheese containers to rest atop the plates. So at most, $15 per fountain. Again, THANK YOU!!! 😍
What store do you find those big straws at?
I love this Idea. Thank you! I also like your idea of the lid covering the water basin - I imagine it keeps the water cleaner to prevent the filter from clogging from leaves and stuff.
Thank you, Robbie, for sharing this hack!! I have 2 fountains, but the water shoots too high, so I'm going to put KCups on them!! You are ingenious!! You put a smile on my face when I watch your videos!! ❤❤❤
That's too cute, I couldn't stop watching that bird, Robbie you're so creative.
I will have to try this. Thank you for sharing this information with us.
Always and anytime, Thanks!
You are so inspiring to all of us. I'm building some of your creations with my elderly mom as she really enjoys these hummingbirds.
When you put the straw in the cut, with the glue sprinkle a tiny bit of baking soda on the glue, it will harden like cement in flash.
I have to wait till I get my social security to get the fountain part I just can't afford it right now. I absolutely love everything that you do. Thank you so very much for sharing. Much love and happiness to you and your family. 🤗🌹❣️🌷❤️
Thank you so much ❤ have fun when you are ready
me again.....built one of the kcups. no luck, had lots of hummers, but they wouldn't play in the water....ideas?
Robbie, thank you for sharing this with us! I absolutely love it! I have everything to make this except for the kcup, but I have some tiny red plastic cups that I think will work. They are a mini solo cup and are about the same size as a kcup, but the top edge is just like the solo cups, which are different than a kcup. Do you think they would work? I sure hope so because I probably have 50 to 60 of them, and that would make a lot of bird baths 😂😂😂. I laugh watching the Oriole bird lol. ❤😊😊❤
I like the mini-solo cup idea. And it doesn't hurt that they are red! Probably sturdier than a k-cup, too. I would think a little bead of the hot glue, as in the demo, would beef up the rolled rim to a point the hummies could grip it better than if it was left more narrow. I might try this myself. Need to find a very small package of red mini solo cups! 😊👍
@@youresoakinginit2113 I got these at Dollar General
I was just going to say, the Dollar Store has them in the 1 Dollar isle in the store. I believe there's blue ones also and they're called bath cups on the packaging, couldn't be a more fitting name for what they'll be repourposed for.
Your birdbath ideas are so much fun. I wondered what else I could use those k-cups for and now I know. Thanks for sharing
Wow! I love this idea Robbie. Kcups so smart! How do you come up with all these brilliant ideas? I think eating all the organic veg must help 🤗👍🏻♥️
The video of the oriel, it’s like she is using it as a very nice bidet, cracked me up. Birds are sooooo smart!
She really is brilliant , so smart .
I love your videos….i have made a few after watching the lovely ideas you share in your videos ❤
Love your videos. You inspired me to make one out of found junk… it’s lovely and the birds love it! Thank you!
Hummingbirds ignore my fountains, house finches love them!
Sprinklers at dusk will bring in fire flys
I had a plant basin on an outdoor bird cage with water and a rock in the middle. The crows brought bread and it rotted in the water (to high to see what was going on) This is the perfect project for a fresh water (I have an R.O. setup so a regular supply of very good water) for the hummingbirds I feed during winter as they seem not to be interested with so many flowers here in west Los Angeles 5 miles from the ocean, but a bird bath has to bring them in. No wiring, no water line, works for me. Already ordered the pump. Thanks, I'll adapt for my own version but will be the same basic system. I have a small wired pump in a small fish tank that can be adjusted but saw no text about that for more or less flow.
Some of the aquarium pumps have an adjustment on it already so you’d have to check yours. I love that you’re going to take the idea and make it work best for you. 😊 Thank you
you are such a talented and sweet person. i listen and watch and my physic is elevated. thank you
Wow, thank you!
I have a package of about 20 of those little disposable plastic white cups for rinsing your mouth after brushing your teeth, or gargling mouthwash. Think that'll be just as good as a K-Cup?
Thank you so much Robbie
I can’t wait to go out and buy the materials today to build a couple of these for my hummingbirds
❤
Robbie, thank you for this video. The birds are so adorable in the fountain/bubbler. I know I have to make one because when I am out watering my garden the humming birds come to fly into the mist and drink the water off of the leaves of my plants. That tells me they are thirsty. I also did not know the importance of changing out the humming bird feeders and cleaning them out very often. Thank you!!!!! I hope I didn't injure any birds. I am making new nectar (it is cooling) as I write this. God Bless
I love your channel and ideas. I just wish my side of my condo got enough sun to support my solar fountain! I have my hummer feeder out and enjoy watching these fascinating birds. Thank you
I bought the solar disc that is in the first pic. It lasted a month. I kept it clean so I don't suggest buying it
I made an error and ordered two pumps vs two fountain kits. No problem since your video showed how to make my own version . I will send photo if possible. Great channel.
Robbie I 🥰 your idea of using the k-cups as bubblers, instead of using the k-cups, I'm going to use empty applesauce cups and use electric pumps instead of solar power because I have more shady areas.
Perfect! Yes that will will great! Thanks
Can this idea work on the 2-liter bottle idea, using a K-Cup instead of a turkey baster? I'm kinda torn between the turkey baster idea and the K-Cup idea. I have a bunch of little mouthwash gargle cups to substitute for K-Cups. But I do have 2 or 3 solar fountains, I think I'll try both designs! 😁
New follower here, I absolutely love your site!!
Loved it my friend! Thanks for the share! Have a great weekend! Chef John & Rebecca
Thank you! You too! ❤
Whats the GPH gallons per hour rating for the size of pumps you have found to work best. I don't want to get to large of one thats pushing to much water thru the bath portion and then splattering all over off the water retention catch tray. Thank you
Offhand, I am not sure about that, but the small solar pumps with the square panels in the links below seem to work just fine
Thank you so much for your videos they helped us bring the humming birds to our yard in less than three days!!! Your uve made us so happy!!!! Love Mina and George Rosales
Best one yet Robbie that anyone can make. So much easier to make than with the round pump.
Thanks for continuing to improve your innovations.
Great tips. TYVM for sharing.
Robbie your mind is amazing..Thanks for sharing your craft ideas..
I love your work for watering the hummers, that said no we don’t all have k cups - one because it adds so much trash to the dumps, oceans, rivers, etc. 2nd because the old coffee used in these is just awful and if you really know good coffee, you would know how rancid it is. The problem is those who aren’t wealthy to buy fresh flown over beans from someone in Hawaii which has to meet US regulations and not exposed to chemicals, etc. - but we have gotten use to bad coffee until we get a fresh high quality good fresh roasted, fresh ground coffee beans. But another huge reason to not use these is the cost is so expensive. Just get a drip coffee maker with a timer where you add in a spoonful of coffee to the paper filter or get a reusable one. But the thing is the coffee will be much fresher than the cups known to be sitting in warehouses for decades. And like tea, don’t over boil the water to where it’s ruined. Try to buy the containers of coffee in disposable foil packages and call the company when you buy it and based on the expiration codes, you can call the manufacturer and ask when it was ground and packaged. All that said… buy really good fresh coffee beans from a local coffee roaster company, and then grind the beans fresh each day or two. You will be shocked at the freshness and difference in flavor. Of course you have to find a coffee you like. Whichever you do, stay away from cups and the cheaper the worse. It’s like olive oil - Italy knkw they can sell us the oldest, worse olive oil. Top chefs know the best - and it’s not usually what the show on their shows because that’s sponsors. But Italy knows we don’t know the difference. In fact, finding and buying a brand from California (the current year’s harvest), you again will be like what the heck have I been using - terrible. But think of the harvests in Italy,coming over here on ships in barrels and sitting in warehouses until they get to bottling. But it’s exposed to heat, plastic whatever. Do you really think high quality oil or coffee can be purchased for a couple dollars - NO. It costs money to come across land and then onto ships and then across the ocean to some port and then on trucks to some warehouse. Just think about what it costs to fuel your car much less a huge ship.
I just don't have any luck with the floating solar panel. They work for a little while and then it quits.
Trying using the ones with the cord and panel, they works great, and they last longer too.
Thank you for taking care of the birds& bees. Your ideas are amazing. Bless you
I am tickled!! I have so many hummers and they are going to be so excited to use it! Thank you so much
Oh, they’re gonna love this, thanks and have fun
I am wondering do you have a way to keep birds safe from feral cats?
We have many cats in the neighborhood and I don't want to create a lunch counter.
Thanks for another great idea!! Your brain must stay in high gear to think about these neat ideas!! lol love your videos, keep them coming!!
It does a bit too much, LOL, thank you!
My brother and I don't drink coke bottles or drink anything with k-cup. I'm not sure if I know anyone who does. I haven't seen any hummingbird and very little bees..thank again.
You will if you put out a feeder or 2 😊
Packs of mini plastic cups are not that expensive either. I believe the 50pk is $1 at the dollar store. And to accommodate the Orioles, perhaps use an 6 or 8oz size; if one is too flimsy, maybe double it 👍🏼
Very true I saw the cups at dollar tree, I was just trying to go with something that could be free. But you are right those cups will work. You can’t go too big on the top. It will make it too top-heavy the way this is set up. Thanks 😊 ❤️
Do you make sure the feeders are kept clean inside bottles. They get sick and they won’t come.
Wonder if that melted glue will remain solid here in the low desert sunlight?
I know you get hot there, but I don’t think it’s gonna get hot as a hot glue gun
Junk mail is good for starting coals, save the papers that are blank on the other side for scratch paper, if not make paper airplanes to fly into the BBQ. 😂
I have a couple of those solar powered thingies too. They didn’t work, just dumped outside the bath. But I kept them them. Knew there must be a way to use them. Thank you! Always want to try to keep my poor sweeties have access to water/bath.
I am so excited to assemble this!! I have everything but the skewers and k-cup. The visiting hummingbirds are up to 3 and there are around 8 brown creepers taking up residence in my potted plants (which are in the shade) in the heat of the day. 118 in Phoenix 🥵
Thanks for all your information - it’s such a treat to have cool fountains ⛲️ and snacks waiting for my daily visitors 🐦!!
I found a 3.5 watt solar pump works better in my yard. I still get one with a long cord but because I'm using trash cans to make mine so the water doesn't dry out so fast, this wattage gives my birdbath the perfect amount of water to get to the top of my tubing without spraying all over the place. I'm in Arkansas and dealing with 100+ degree days right now so I have to add water every couple of days now instead of daily.
They are so sweet, why are birds so sweet? 😊
❤️
Sweet as Sugar ❤️💕🌸
They are a gift from God
Birds are one of the joys of life that remain constant. They do things just like they did 100 years ago.
Morning, Robbie! I am delighted to see yet another (older, but I knew they would be) segment on composting in place in my YT opening page of tile choices! I know you can't always respond personally to every comment, but this is even better! Then everyone gets the chance if they want to know about composting in place! (Or some other subject of interest) Don't know if the algorithm did this or if you did it, but THANK YOU! My current 'composting in place' consists of throwing kitchen scraps, etc. in the same place in the backyard -- where it results in growing a bumper crop of miscellaneous!!! LOL! Can't wait to watch this new suggestion.
Love the ideal.
I love your channel. Such great content.
Thank you for all that you do! God bless and take care.
Oh My 😊 Thank You So Very Much! I love share fun things here, so you can get ideas to make and do fun things. Thank You for this Super Thanks, so greatly appreciated ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Stay cool, we are going to be about 100 degrees all week, Take Care 💕
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Thank you and I hope you stay hydrated and cool as well. ❤️❤️❤️
My experience with hot glue on non-porous surfaces is that it can quite easily lift off if it's in a wet environment. Rubber cement or contact cement doesn't seem to, so that might be worth trying sometime.
I just ordered some more pumps. So cool!
Robbie, tellus how you freeze the abundance of cherry tomatoes. You are the sweetest. ♥
I have talked about it a lot, and shown it inside other videos, I will try to get a separate video together soon. Thanks so much ❤
Thank you 😊
Just make a small slit in each one and pop them in a freezer bag. I do that with regular tomatoes too. When I have 20 lbs I make sauce or juice.
Cont. Would it be wrong to have fountains and feeders for birds? Do you think hummingbirds can outsmart the cats?
They have to outsmart all kinds of animals, just keep the fountain and feeders UP, out of reach.
I live in Minnesota and just got my first hummingbirds attracted to our yard with Feeders, Fountains, and Flowers. (I call it the "3 Fs").
Anyways, I just wanted to say how much I love your hummingbird videos. 🙂
Thanks.
-Doug
Thank you for your wonderful videos showing diff ways and supplies to make bubblers for birds. I just made my first one! A vase from Goodwill, bowl and kids cup for top (upside down for a perch)
I drink coffee by the pot, so I don't have K-cups...but I love my yogurt and am going to try using it instead. Wish me luck. (chobani zero sugar ones) I'm having a real problem getting the straw to fit over the pump connection. Everytime I try the soldering gun tip trick it melts it away 😞
See if you can get a larger straw, good luck ❤️
You ought to start to write and read children’s stories about all things in your garden. You’ve got the material as well as your nice, expressive voice. Add some poem readings in your videos for us adults as well. Love you, sunshine lady!
Hi, there. Love your channel and your nature-loving spirit. On the bottom on the K-Cup, could you use silicone as a sealant rather than hot glue?
I have absolutely no luck with the pumps you recommend. So I'll just enjoy your fountains.
Does it harm a solar pump if it's low on water and in the sun?

You always have such amazing ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you again. You are an amazing diy person. Thanks for your idea.
What an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing your creativity!
I just love your videos! Thank you 🫶🏽
Question Ms. Robbie do you have problems with cooper's hawks. Birds don't get near bird feeder and bird bath for days because of the cooper's hawks what do you suggest I do thanks 🐦🕊🦆🤣
We have Cooper Hawks, and other hawks too. But they rarely bother the hummingbirds. If you see my bird garden, I have branches all over the top to stop the hawks from coming in.
Hawks
Thank you you have the best ideas I will use a k cup tomorrow on my fountain
I have a lot of honey bees coming to my fountain. Is that bad for the birds? Lol
Bees need water too!😊
Thank you so much, love this idea!
Your ideas are so creative and your enthusiasm just sparkles. All the bubbler fountains are great as well as the feeders. So, so many hummers at one time is more than amazing. The dozen or so I normally have are always fighting and defending their chosen feeders.
I have virtually no ground plants anymore for nectar and have never seen birds bathing in the pans of water I set out at different heights. I just hit thrift and dollar store today so I can follow your guidance in creating bubbles as you have.
It's obvious the oxygen rich water created by the bubblers will provide what these creatures need so desperately.
Last year I was daily making over a gallon of sugar food. I also had to divert the bees to specialize bee feeders on Macon jars. Then set them on bricks in containers of water to keep the ants at bay.
I don't know how you keep up with the sugar water needs with so many feeders around. Perhaps a video of how you fill them all.
I'm also wondering what region of SoCal you're in. I'm in San Diego county and I'm envious of your verdant yard. Your environment reminds me of Alpine or Julian.
While prolonged heat these past summer has desolated mine with water cost so high and limited.
Thank you again for sharing your innovations. 👏👍🙏❣️
You are doing great with all your hummingbirds. I just keep an eye out on my feeders all day, once low or out I clean and change them out. You could put some flowers out and flower pots. Hummingbirds generally don’t use a pan, that would be for the Orioles. We are more north of you. Take care ❤
Love watching your videos. I only have one hummingbird, and when others come through the hummingbird feeder that one chase is in the way? Why?
Have you thought about making a bubbler from a lid off of the liquid laundry bottles? I know they are just a little bit larger but I think it would work as long as it's not top heavy and you sand papered them to rough up the edges.
I have I’ve use all kinds of different tops for bubblers, but like you said, you gotta keep it light so it’s not too top-heavy. I’ll get more videos up on that, thanks so much.
Anything used must be food safe. I don’t think a detergent bottle is food safe nor would I drink from it…
Aren't you poisoning those tiny bitds with the chemicals that keech from those plastics?! Do more research. Sure its cute...but...
I have plenty of videos on plastic, so yes I have done tons of research and it’s perfectly safe

Have you tried a yogurt cup for larger birds, like your oriole?
We’ll have to see how much water those little pumps can take😊
But the floating fountain has a bubbler so how is this better
Either one is fine, whichever one works for you 😊❤️
Great ideas! Love it, I’m going to make one or two 😅
I don't quite understand why the lid needs to be upsidedown?
To catch water and funnel it back into the container😊
Robbie! What about making 2 bird baths, maybe in 2 different structures with one solar fountain? With your creativity you could use the small 1/4" irrigation tubing, and your handy dandy soldering iron to attach it to two different structures somehow - I'm sure of it. I've got plenty of it now since your videos on the tubing in the garden. If I have time, I'll try my creativity on that. But you'll be ahead of the game, I know it!
such a fun creative idea
Please stop subjecting these birds to drinking from all of these random plastics and burned holes. It's not healthy for consumption. I wouldn't subject you, myself or any one to drink through any of that stuff. I'm not sure why you think its okay to subject the birds to it, considering you seem to care for their well being. Saying that one piece in the beginning of you're video is food safe does not justify all the containers, hot glue, straws and burned holes as being food safe.
Robbie...I know this is a stupid question...but how can this be made with a round plastic bowl.....or anybody......help
My goodness you must have bought a lot of pumps! Solar is only good while the sun is out. If there are many cloudy days do you empty the water from all of these fountains?
