What are the plants called?

[@abcamylou]

Ornamental grass?

[@daveduncan8004]

Well, this is really great. You know you can get I solar pump like the one you have that lights up at night but this was really smart. You do a good job. Thanks for having the KZbin.

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you for watching!! 🥰🥰

[@LAWandCoach]

What about theCanna lillies roots? And the grass? I didn't realize that they could live underwater?

[@curiouslass4280]

Awesome!! 👍Thank you for sharing!! I must try this!!🥰

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@coreencasey5109]

I found i had to anchor the fountain in the middle because the water sprays over the sides and you have to keep topping up the water

[@joanned8723]

Really cute idea! You’ve inspired me! Thank you 😊

[@MyHappyHome]

Great idea, love how it turned out 💕💋

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you 😊

[@beerlover5000]

nice little video. you are probably gonna want to anchor that fountain in the middle. other wise it may end up on the side of the barrel and pumping water out onto the ground.

[@diymommysminute]

Yes! Good idea!!

[@darrylbuchman169]

How do you charge the solar power fountain pump?

[@Tomwinters85]

looks nice but your water is cloudy. You can use a bacteria starter to get a nice biosystem going. keep the water clear. Also something like lavastones to let the bacteria settle. it will also help feed the plants. Im also starting this just now and have the same barrel! hope it goes well. yours looks really nice:)

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you!! I will try this 🥰

[@dianebowman4215]

I use to have a whiskey barrel fountain, the mosquitoes LOVE IT. Are you not worried about those nasty bugs?

[@diymommysminute]

No, I didn’t notice any in mine. I’ll have to have a closer look this year 👀 💕

[@floridagirl8540]

You can my natural mosquito dunks. They won’t harm animals or children . Just break a pice in put it in

[@rbljackson]

@@diymommysminute you can always add a few small feeder gold fish from the fish store. they will eat the mosquito larva

[@diymommysminute]

@@rbljackson great idea!!

I’m totally going to make one for my front garden for the hummingbirds. When I made planters for the water plants in my backyard pond, I just filled the containers with a mixture of sand and gravel so that acted as a weight and a filter. I had bought a canna lily too but it didn’t do so well back there because it is shady. I put it in a planter on my sunny deck now so it has taken off and is about to flower. I love how you gave us a nighttime shot at the end - looks great!

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@addydog2012]

I love it! TY for sharing!

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you so much 💕

[@DesireeMiller-ck2ir]

I'm from ontario, did you end up adding any fish? I have two half whiskey barrels I want to add some fish! Thanks for the video

[@diymommysminute]

No I didn’t, but I have seen other videos with fish!! Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@mystrength2009]

add some yellow plastic duckies.

[@judyking4930]

Love it, turned out great.

[@diymommysminute]

Thank you 😊

[@alicesmith6750]

Thank you so very much for sharing this, I have been wanting to add a water feature in a full sunlight area we recently made into a rock garden. Where might I buy a whiskey barrel like yours? Thanks again, your water feature is stunning!

[@diymommysminute]

Thanks so much 🥰 I bought the barrel at Home Depot 🙂

[@sandrawalker2066]

Mosquito breeding area

[@diymommysminute]

😂

[@enigel1969]

Mosquitoes don’t breed in running water.

[@TheArmadalatina]

Very cute, I love the addition of the plants! Can you tll me which ones you have used pls?

[@diymommysminute]

Calla Lilly and a water grass 😊 thank you ❤️

[@kathcetiner3687]

I have one but the problem is if there is a breeze the go's over the side of the container and I'm for ever filling it up with water

[@diymommysminute]

I used the rain barrel to fill mine, but I don’t get the wind either 😊

[@AllGrowing]

Lovely! Which plants are these, or others suitable in the water?

[@diymommysminute]

I believe they at calla Lilly and a water grass 😊 thank you ❤️

[@indicagirl7876]

Wow that looks so pretty !!! How long will the solar hold its power once it gets dark ? Thank you for sharing 👍

[@diymommysminute]

Approx 2 hours

[@VECAVECA-er7hv]

Sweet Idea, what about the mosquito larvae whom will see it as an ideal hatching place

[@diymommysminute]

As long as the foundation is on it should be ok 👌 🥰

[@sandracokes6159]

Where can I purchase the light up flowers?

[@diymommysminute]

I purchased mine at Dollarama 💕

[@harinisriram3456]

How do you refill water?

[@diymommysminute]

It’s pretty good at keeping the water in the barrel but we get enough rain to keep it full 😊

[@dawnesurley118]

Is that ring on your right hand what I think it is St of X ?????

[@diymommysminute]

👏👏👏 yes!!
