    I noticed some bees around your solar fountain. They need water too, during the Summer, and often drown in large containers of water. To take care of both the birds and the bees, cut a wine cork in half, lengthwise, and float in the water bowl. This allows a bee that falls into the water, to dry off and fly away. My beekeeper friend gave me this tip.

    Robbie!! I hope you see this message! And if not I hope it helps to encourage others!
    I used to have just a few buckets on my deck and I would grow some tomatoes nothing crazy (that was until last year)
    Ok let's start at the beginning....
    3 years ago my daughter became guardian to 2 bunnies Star and Jupiter.
    Well every week she had to clean the cages they sleep and eat in out (and it filled up the trash bags fairly quickly)
    So after realizing it was a lot to send to the dump I made a area for her to dump it in the yard. Then I added in kitchen scraps /waste . Then my husband was going to clean up the yard and It honestly hadn't hit me how fast it would break down in Georgia! 3 years later my compost is honestly the best thing Ive grown in!!
    When I found Robbie and Gary and I saw how she filled her totes I tried it!
    Its works really good!! So if you're thinking of trying it Please do! Its saved me so much money!!

    Absolutely amazing. I've been trying to figure out how I can have a fountain with a larger water well in my backyard that doesn't need an electrical outlet. I've tried the solar fountains like you use in my bird baths but the birds splash all the water out during the day. I just got tired of filling them up multiple times. This is affordable and so easy to make! Thank you, you have answered my prayers!!

      Just lots of fun thinking up stuff, and being creative. Love that kind of thing too. We’ve been eating lots from the garden and I planted Roma II bush green beans in a large tote and had some wonderful beans. I’ve got zucchini and honey nut butter nut in a couple other smaller ones. Not sure what size exactly, but we’ve been getting some. Funny, same seed packet one green and one stripped zuccini, plus we have yellow crook neck in the garden and it’s doing better then ever! Corn coming soon, and we’ve been eating lots of tomatoes and cucumbers as well. Lots of peppers, but none quite ready there! Harvested our candy onions from Andrews seeds and replanted our walking onions too. Using the bottoms tonight in a sloppy joe sauce with one of our tomatoes chopped up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HAVING a garden and all the fresh veggies! Been going on 32 plus years with a garden.

    very nice idea, especially with the self-contained pump cup/container. since you have a lot of hummingbirds visiting already, it would make sense that they are probably the first ones to notice and use it!

    The fed wildlife agency (forgot the name) just put out an announcement to make sure these baths and feeders be cleaned with a 10% bleach solution weekly. There is some infection in the small bird communities that is affecting them in very large numbers. The agency actually is asking for these feeders and baths be pit away until the infection spread slows. Keep the birds safe!

      It deals with SONGBIRDS!! Here is a quote: It has been seen in a wide array of birds, including Northern cardinals, Eastern bluebirds, Carolina wrens and chickadees, house finches and sparrows, and red-bellied woodpeckers, but the Pennsylvania Game Commission said the malady appears to be targeting fledgling blue jays, common grackles, European starlings and American robins.
