The sound of running water is both soothing and relaxing. Having a garden fountain or water pond is something I've always wanted but never got around to actually having. Years ago I even visited a "lily pond" with hopes of building one in my massive backyard. My husband and son never took to the idea of digging a hole, and manually performing all the strenuous tasks of creating a water feature, no matter how many hints I made. We've moved to a place with a much smaller backyard. Recently, I came across a display of a garden fountain at a local nursery. It was basically a large ceramic bowl with a bamboo spout inserted in water. The sound was simply serene and I found it very relaxing. The kit was relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of most water fountains. I thought, "I could do this"! I bought the kit, which stated:
"Turn Any Container Into A Fountain!"
I had a very large plastic container (25" diameter) I got at Costco for $19.99. The color matched everything on my patio so I was thrilled about that!
The Bamboo Water Spout & Pump Fountain Kit was an easy 3-Step Setup. Since the diameter of the barrel was 25 inches, I bought an 18" adjustable height spout kit which would fit on any 15"-30" diameter bowl.
Step One Loosen the black string on the bamboo by sliding it sideways. Adjust the support arms to the desired position on the rim of the barrel, then tighten.
Step Two Attach the pump to the end of the plastic tube. Submerge pump into water. The pump cord goes over the rim of the water container.
For decorative purposes, I placed rocks resting on top of the bamboo support arms and in the bottom of the barrel. You can also see a "North Carolina Jasmine" plant behind the barrel. I also added submersible led lights to the bottom of the container.
Step Three Plug in the pump and adjust the flow on the front of the pump. I had fun decorating with plants, and rocks. I think I might add a "frog" I saw floating in the water at the nursery.
Bamboo fountains add a beautiful mix of sound and motion to any environment. Bamboo is said to bring good luck and provide Feng Shui to a space.
We are definitely enjoying the simplicity and serenity of this natural bamboo water feature!
