Hummingbirds LOVE shallow dishes where the water runs as it does through an infinity pool, so I can see them loving this design. The color is very pretty too!
Hi again, Never got to this project but had all the parts in my garage for two years. I am trying to recreate what you have done and have it all setup now, basin installed and level, coated inside of big planter all in place. I will be refilling/topping off water manually not like your cool auto refill setup. Are you concerned that the water in the bottom 1/2 of the planter is not recirculated and is kind of stagnant or is it not? Does the hose sitting 6 inches from the top of the planter recirculate enough of the water in the full planter? I want to be sure all the water in the underground reservoir AND the full planter is recirculating often enough and was thinking of just bringing the pipe from the pump just into the bottom 3 inches of the planter and letting it fill from there. Also, do you think I need a backstop valve for my plan like you have on your hose? Thanks for any advise you have.
What type of back flow valve did you use? I keep looking up different backflow and check valves but am a little confused as to which one would be appropriate in this use. Thanks for the video and the ideas.
Any check valve will work. Its just a flap that opens and closes inside the pipe. Just make sure it doesnt have a pressure regulator inside as well. Some come with both. I picked mine up at an irrigation store but lowes and homedepot also sell them in the pump isle.
hi, I installed a floating valve, attached to a PVC, attached to a hose bib, but the end with the floating valve keeps leaking, resulting in overflow. What valve do you recommend please? Also, do u install a pressure reducer somewhere? Thanks
Some valves will have s pressure redcer built in wich is what I like because less pieces. Most likely that is why yours is leaking or the pressure may have broke it already.
Sorry but I'm confused 😕. Does the entire pot fill with water then the saucer on top gets filled? Does it then flow down the outside and back into the black basin? I can't see the water moving in the last shot so I'm not sure what is happening. Looks lovely though!
How are you keeping the weeds from coming through the landscape overtime? We’ve tried everything landscape fabric, plastic etc mulch best result was a combo of plastic and mulch
The main reason why weeds grow through mulch is because the mulch is not thick enough.... i put down at least 2in ......good quality weed fabric works great but not always needed
dig 2 inches down, take your amazon boxes and spread all the cardboard over everything, water it down, soak the cardboard, then cover the cardboard with the dirt followed with mulch
Lowes and home depot usually will have the basic rocks but I usually will get mone from a landscape/rock supply store. They have much more variety and sizes
An irrigation or landscape store should have them. In Southern California we have many places. Bourget Brothers, Ewing Irrigation, Aqua Flow. I have also seen them online different websites

Very nice. I never imagined so much engineering would go into something that looks so simple in the end. Great job.
Thankyou. What's fun is that you can do it with any pot any size.
I think he was being sarcastic with all engineering you want the engineering to be simple and the effect to look complicated
@@David-h9y9p yes it is

Thanks for this video -- love the design - brilliant!
Should the backflow be on the bottom of the pot? I think that would make more sense with minimal loss from the pot? I love tis idea.
Either way works for tye back flow

Hi. Either way will work. There is enough water flow through out the pot and yes I would add the backstop valve
Love the idea of water autofill, I have to see how you did it.
Thank you

@@dieselmxtt Thanks for the time and the advice.
Thanks, so helpful. I did order sealers from “The Pond Guys” because they are non-toxic. Just wanted to be sure not to create a problem for he birds.
Yes
Beautiful with lots of information - thank you

Yes exactly what it does
I love your fountain, Where would one buy the main black tub, did it come with a hole in it?
Lowes and homedepot has the hose you need in the pond sections
How did you run water to it?
What valve did you use to allow water in to refill the bottom
At 2:00 I talk about and show how the waterfeature refills. Main waterline to a bobber/ valve that turns on and off like a toilet.

@@dieselmxtt That totally explains it. Thanks a bunch for the reply and insight. Enjoy your content

@@robertha Thank you! Greatly appreciated
What size water pump do you recommend for this setup??
On every box it will say how many feet it will pump. 4-6ft adjustable pressure pump is what I used.
What kind of rocks are them did you buy the bags at lowes ?
Lowes and home depot usually will have the basic rocks but I usually will get mone from a landscape/rock supply store. They have much more variety and sizes
Where did you get the top of the urn? Did it come with the urn?
It did not come with it but the pot store i got got the pot from sold that matching piece. Its actually ment to sit under the pot to collect water
@@dieselmxtt Thanks - I had the same question.
Can you tell me where you got your basin? I haven't been able to find one. thanks!

Thank you
Seems to many electrical parts touching water
Wrong.....1 waterproof pump is all it takes
