please send me links to easy and cheap home-made water features for my garden. Thank you!
Home okorder ) has all sorts of different ideas for home-made water features, and they tell you how to make them. They even have a portable one you can make and take apart to take with you if you move. Go to the website above, click on Gardening, type in water features in the search box and click. It comes up with lots of neat stuff!!
I have seen several water bogs. these are areas that have rocks with a liner of some sort like a trap with no holes under the rocks. dig a small square, round,rectangle area, just deep enough that you can place the rocks down and then fill the liner up with water.The water can be over the rocks or just to the side of them. Just depends on what effect you are looking for. If you are wanting a higher layer effect do the same procedure but get rocks you can stack on top of one another and purchase a pump and hose the length of the height to your pile.All of my rocks I have gotten by walking county line roads or dirt roads. Visit a rock quarry too can get you some really neat rocks as well. Draw up what you want your rock fountain to look like and then go hunting for your rocks. If you have a family make it an outting and have fun with it. Good Luck!!!
Some home improvement stores offer very inexpensive fake stones along with pumps, easy to set up. Large stones can be back brakers. Have seen fountain systems for less than $100.00. Could cost you more to go out and buy and transport large stones weighing 50 lbs and up.
