What a great idea!

Here’s another tip: you don’t need to fill that giant planter full of soil to the bottom. Throw in a bunch of empty plastic jugs - 2 liter soda bottles are perfect - and then just pour in about 6 to 8 inches of soil (check online what you’re growing to see what is a mature plant’s root depth requirement). Way less soil required… and the planter won’t kill your back when you’re trying to move it!

[@amber_Forever16]

You can also use cotton balls, roots can grow through them easily, you could grow cucumbers or any type of vine vegetables in it and layer the cotton balls with soil, so you'll use much less soil and the vegetables will grow like crazy with that deep of a planter! I did this with all my planter vegetables this year because I had gotten free giant cotton balls and wanted to save money lol😂I did an experiment at first with tomato plants and used layered cotton and soil and one with just soil and the one with cotton grew way way bigger faster! I think it's because the roots get more oxygen, idk 🤷‍♀️ sorry for the book😂

[@CarolynneBurkey]

I did that, and during a bad storm, the planters were blown into our pool. What a mess. I’ll opt for weight in that planter🤭

[@jenniferp4612]

Can also use leaves and sticks for a more nature friendly fill. That way the plastic doesn't seep into the soil, which will seep into the plants

Thank you for the info. I'm stoked for planting 😊

[@Flying_Doodle_Homestead]

I love these little solar fountains. I bought 2 and made hanging bird baths. They’re a big hit with the birds and pollinators this year.

[@AlishaCernik]

I love mine!!!

So pretty

[@passionforyarn1990]

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing. It's just a saving $ tip. Fill the vase a little more than 1/2 way with leaves and cardboard paper, then fill the rest with the potting mix. This way, you save $ on potting mix.

[@AlishaCernik]

Great tip!

[@plantsoverpills1643]

Make sure you check on it often as the water will disappear through wind, evaporation and spraying beyond water reservoir.

[@southernsass2937]

I had to refill every 2 hours. As much as I love it...I had to stop using it. I tried many different ways. 😕

[@AlishaCernik]

I check on mine maybe once a day but where I have mine at I guess it's blocked from the wind

[@elisabethpine3420]

Very quickly

[@amber_Forever16]

​@@AlishaCernikdoes the water turn green or do you have to refill it so often that it never turns green?

[@AlishaCernik]

@@amber_Forever16 I normally refill every other day. Just depends on the weather and where you place it at. If you live in area with high heat you may need refill/clean daily. 😊

[@dawnhayes1611]

TIP... GLUE 3 BAMBOO STICKS TO THE FOUNTAIN TO KEEP IT IN THE MIDDLE AS THEY DO TEND TO FLOAT TO THE SIDE!

[@AlishaCernik]

True!!! They also updated their fountain so it stays in the middle

[@jennifermorgan4033]

​@@AlishaCernikwhere did you buy your fountain?

Good idea! When my fountain floated to the side it drowned the plants underneath it growing in the ground.

[@suzannewang2561]

I love the fountains too, but if the wind is even a little strong, it will blow the water out of the fountains and drown the plants or cause the pump to run dry and burn up the pump….. hate to be such a pessimist , but realistically, they don’t work that well …. But you are right, when they do run, they are fun and pretty and the birds do love them !!
