Don't throw some garbage..it can be a nice fountain!

Are you a Dad that does not have a 'green thumb'? And suddenly you can see that you have a lot of ceramic pot in your garden that are empty. Empty in the sense that you do not enjoy planting plants. Then do not be sad coz you can use some empty ceramic pots to make a beautiful fountain that could be placed in your terrace, living room etc. How?


Here are some materials you need :

- 2 pcs Ceramic Pot (pot 1 is the lower part of the fountain but a deeper one will be better for an effect and pot 2 should be the upper pot which should not be bigger than pot 1 so that the water will not overflow once you lay down that pot at the top of pot 1)
- 1 plastic pot (size depends on how deep is the pot 1 and enough to cover the pump)
- fountain pump (available in all hardware stores, around Euro 10 to 15 )
- 20 to 30 pcs of white & black stones
- half meter of plastic tube (diameter should be fitted to your pump)
- silicon (to cover some leak )

How to assemble your fountain?

Step 1. Clean the pots. Make a hole at the middle side of pot 2 which is as big as your plastic tube.

Step 2. Make also a hole at the bottom side of the plastic pot.

Step 3. Place your pump at the middle part of pot 1 and then connect the plastic tube to its proper place. Insert the tube to the hole of the plastic pot (upside position) and then insert it also to the hole of pot 2. (If the hole of pot 2 is too big for your tube, use some silicon to cover the leak)

Step 4. Decorate some stone around pot 1. Be sure that the stone will hide the plastic pot.

Step 5. Try to test the fountain. If the water is flowing outside pot 1 then adjust the level of pot 2. Using the stone, you can adjust the position of pot 2 and try to place stones (for adjustment) at the middle side.

Congratulations!!! You now have a beautiful fountain that has been made out of some garbage pots! For additional effect, put some small plants inside pot1 then cover also with a stone. I love to put my fountain beside the dining area during winter time and on summer days, it is placed near the terrace. Smile young father!
