Hi David , could you let me know the name of the uplift Pump you used in one of your other videos, and were one can get it , thanks and keep up the good work
I did a similar floating garden and found that the only bottles that didn't loose air over time were the soft drink/soda/pop bottles (or anything fizzy/carbonated). It kind of made sense as they are the only type that are designed to be under pressure. I'd be interested to know if yours is remaining buoyant? Thanks.
I'm thinking about doing 1 myself. Do you think it's practical to replace the bottles once in a while? Or is it better to find suitable bottles (soft drink ones as you mentioned) right from the start?
You could replace bottles overtime on a smaller scale system. But on a bigger system, having to swim/reach too far underneath the structure could be dangerous. I'd stick with bottles designed for pressure from the outset, if I were doing it again. I hope this helps.
Oh I had such a laugh...! I should have rehearsed this... and lets see if it floats. I did the same thing with tyres en what do you know, it sank to the damn bottem. Also those milkbottles became so brittle within a week or month. I rather suggest empty 2li cold drink bottles. They last!

I know this is 4 years old.
Thank you for the inspiration, regardless!
I hope all is well with you.
The time and effort appreciated.
Fascinating idea :-)
...reminds me of the chap in México who built himself a floating mangrove island, using bottles (1000's of bottles) as flotation.
That's a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing
Cheers Anita
Great. I am building an organic, chemical free pond/pool just to throw old tires in it. Brilliant!
notifications on my RUclips 😂
keep making more videos please
Cheers! I'll do that
U should do a series on different organic pools! Your videos are not long enough or frequent
Hi Roysta, It is lovely to know you want more of this stuff. I'll try.
thanks for the video, why does your audio always sound like your under the water?

I tend to use Hailea V60 air compressors (and I'm not sponsored by them) - but there lots of other good makes too.
Nice but.... I think a bicycle tire with water bottles would work the same but easier to manage.

@@SuburbanHomesteadExperiments Thank you for the kind advice 😁
anything that's made from like bamboo?
That would be great - I don't have bamboo but wood is very good

Hello, actually I like your ideas, but not today. Looks quite ugly to have old tyres in a pool.
Hi Oleg, I actually agree with you. I will make a film to show how these islands can look pretty as well as being functional.
