Absolutely LOVE this idea. I am thinking this will be great alongside our greenhouse with the run off from that. It has quite a large roof. Could build a permanent one which could run through a bog garden then in to our pond. Notes made! Looking forward to planning this!!
Thank you... Really love all your videos. I'm under s native white oak canopy that is constantly dropping debris and fills any water with tannins, leaves etc. but Also have some underground water that may be more suited to enhance bog conditions. It really wants to fill up with noxious ranunculus so maybe i can get something else to take over... Anyway thanks for all the great ideas and supporting biodiversity.
Amazing idea. That drain from one pot to another, should have been the same diameter, otherwise when it rains heavily, the rain will not go down the drain but spill over. That could eventually cause a damp area at the side of the house, causing damp on the walls inside.
Nice idea but not for where I live in the subtropics Australia. The rain here, when it falls, would simply wash everything down the garden including the bricks. Just about every time it rains it comes down with great force in very large quantities.
I have watercress growing in abundance in my rainwater butt from a supermarket cutting. Also have a lot of water snails. I heard somewhere, another YT channel possibly, that it wasn't safe to eat the watercress, even washed. Something to do with the snails and contamination etc.
Would the pond need oxygenating plants like hornwort, or would the constant throughput of water be enough to stop the pond stagnating? Also, if we're hoping to attract amphibians, would something like hornwort help in a pond this size? (My guess is that the pond might be too small for hornwort which might end up taking over the pond)
Is this setup can live through winter? The fact that it is not underground and protected from the cold, I am not sure the plants will survive. Am I wrong?
I love this! Don’t consider this a bug hotel, but an insect spa and resort!
I have a downpipe from the garage guttering which just runs off onto the ground. This is a great idea. Yet another project for the garden on my list.

@@AngelFish007 unfortunately not yet. It is in the planning stage. Other things went to the top of the 'to do' list..

Great idea! Will make one soon!
What a great idea....

Such a great idea.
So neat👏👏👏👏
This is *very* good. I like the simplicity and design.
Impressive
Very clever.
Awesome idea...)

Do you reckon this would work in an area such as the Pacific Northwest, USA, where we often have snow and melted snow running through the drain pipes?
Could you do a drainpipe barel pond
Watch this space...

Hi, yes the plants will survive if they are potted, as they would do in a ground-level pond that could equally freeze-over.
Can this process be started around winter time?
Of course, nothing different except you won't see many flowers until later in the year.
and then i realized it hasn't rained for weeks where I live.
Where does the excess water flow to?
Thanks for the question, see at 00:50 we cut a hole in the base container - for the water to eventually flow into the drain.
i cannot agree on attracting spiders, no way no how, sir
Spiders are our friends. They eat mosquitoes and other small annoying flying insects. Spiderbro for president 2020.
Disliking spiders is somewhat ignorant, still understandable, but frustrating.
it is just that they creep me out a bit still appreciate the fact that they eat flies because I hate them
