Setting Up A Bubbler Fountain - 🫧⛲️😁

- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- Join me as I set up a bubbler fountain in my north side garden. This fountain is about 4 years old in my garden. I purchased it from Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, MD. I'm not exactly sure, but I think it might be from Henri Studio, and is closest to the "Sunflower Patio Bubbler Fountain" that is listed on their website.

My daughters and I dug our goldfish pond by hand, maybe 35 years ago. Its still giving us lots of pleasure with the waterfalls and rock garden . We enjoy the sound and the peaceful fish. Really like your bubbler with the sunflower on the top. I bet birds like it too.
I'm envious of your pond, ... dreaming of one of my own. :-)
We also put in a goldfish pond with a waterfall! It's so nice to hear the water and feed the fish, some of them even have names, lol. We finished it 8 yrs ago, and most summers 3 to 5 new fish are born in the pond! I especially like the plantings of perennials that come back every year.
Love the sound of a fountain in the garden
Yes, me too!
I've wanted a bubbler fountain for a long time but where I live you can't find them but I've thought about making one. Watching your video has given me the push to have ago. Water features in large or small gardens is lovely, a must really. I have a pond but we've not had it in use the past few years as the pump doesn't work anymore but I'm hoping this year the pond will be up n running. Everyone n everything has missed the pond. Even the plants in the garden. It is amazing what impact water features have in a garden.
Yes! I agree so much! I'm working on ideas for more water in the garden. I hope your pond thrives this year!
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden thank you. Looking forward to seeing your water features
We have a fountain set-up next to our deck and outside our breakfast room windows. It’s lovely to hear the trickling water, and my husband set up solar powered lights that illuminate it at night. Birds bathe in it too. Love your adorable bubbler!
Ah, that sounds like heaven!
That is such a pretty bubbler. Happy Easter 🇦🇺 Bronwyn
Thank you! Happy Easter to you too!
I love your cute little fountain.💖
We live in California zone 8b and are blessed to have both a pond about 6 ft x 10 ft in our garden and a large 12 foot basin with a two tiered fountain in our brick courtyard. Picture an old California mission on a smaller scale and that's exactly what our house looks like. The fountain runs all winter and the pond pump gets turned off for about 3 months in the winter. We cover the pond electrical connections with a fake rock which looks pretty real when surrounded by plants. And the connections rest on a stepping stone under the rock. The fountain connections are hidden by potted plants and one small outdoor extension cord running to the nearby front porch to the plug. We love the sound of the gently falling water and the birds love to bathe in the top tier of the fountain.
Sounds absolutely divine! I crave more water in my garden, and am contemplating how to achieve it. One day.... :-)
That sounds heavenly.
Enjoyed and giggled. Things like lost cork, unable to level and bags w E tape etc . We must be twins separated at birth!! Nothing like bubbling water to hear while chillin outside.
Glad you enjoyed, twin!!!
I have 2 medium fountains...1 in the front garden and the other in the back one, I love to seat and listen to the sound of water....what's funny to me is I used the same method with my cords🤭 seems right to me🤷🏾♀️😅...Happy gardening
Thanks for sharing! Glad I'm not alone with my cord management method! :-)
Quality of sound...We live 1/2 mile from an airport (luckily we aren't on the main flight path; 1 block from a train track; and there is a cement factory right across the street. Our house is on a busy two-lane highway where the cement trucks and motorcycles travel frequently. Filming outside is quite the challenge. (my UA-cam channel is Mary Born ND where I do gardening videos --I live in Michigan). However, the bright side is that we live on a lake and most of the time I can enjoy the water, birds, and peace that provides. In the summer there is quite a lot of activity but even then there are quiet times. Do love your honest videos. I've learned a lot from watching you. I'm close to 80 and I've learned there are limits to my flexibility, and strength and some positions aren't as easy as they used to be. My "Gardening with Granny" addresses how I'm adapting to these challenges while continuing to enjoy my garden.
Hoo-boy! You've got some noise!!! We have noise from sirens, traffic on the highway nearby, and neighborhood noises like lawnmowers, delivery trucks, etc. You have to get out pretty far to have quiet, I guess. Re: filming outside - you might consider getting a microphone if you don't have one yet. I use one (when it's working) and it really makes a big difference for the good of my audio.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden I do have a mic but it is wired. I will have to get one that isnt. Also, can you share what editing program you use. You do such a good job.
Love the fountain. You might consider a rubber stepping stone (with hole made in the center to accommodate the cords) to put under your fountain. It would keep it clean in the winter and make leveling easier in the spring. They are really handy.
That would be cool! Thanks!
Next time, put it down on a piece of flagstone or a few bricks, then level the pot while it's empty.
I've done that before, and yes, it works, but honestly, I'm too lazy and impatient to do that. :-)
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden I can totally relate. LOL
I love the sound of a fountain. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting!
Love your sunflower fountain. You are so cute and real!
Thank you so much!
I have two new count
I have a hummingbird bubbler that’s new and a two tier fountain that’s also new as my old fountain was leaking and I’m older and could not move it anymore. I always have the sound of water in my yard it is so relaxing! Enjoy your channel!
Thanks for watching!
We also have what I call the bubbler. My amazing husband dug a hole in the ground that we can place a five gallon pail in. Lined the hole with water feature liner. We have a submersible pump in the pail . The hole is covered with a round BbQ rack and the rack is covered with various sizes of Montana River Rock. The wet rock is stunning, rainbow colors. The rock covers the rack, the water bubbles up through the rock and I have the area around it planted with bergenia. which is one of the few evergreen plants that survive our winters. Two years ago my daughter got married in front of this feature when we hosted her micro covid wedding. I love the sound and love to sit near it with a cup of coffee. I would reiderate your caution, don't let the feature run dry or you will burn out your pump. Wishing you and all your viewers a blessed Easter
Sounds awesome! I'm sure it's lovely and very relaxing!!! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, we learned years ago to only buy pumps that automatically turn off if the water runs dry. They cost more but don't burn out!
You're a landscape engineer, you look great👍👍👍
Ha - not quite. Thanks!
Oooo, I want one just like that!
Go for it!
Oh my gosh. I love it. So pretty. If you can believe it, someone left a 4 and a half foot fountain at the house that we rent. We moved it (ughhhh), plugged it in..and it works! It makes our space so tranquil. Sweet sounds.
That is awesome! What a find!
You are so much like me. Ha! Yes, I have a small water fountain out front. Placed where it can be enjoyed as you approach the front door. Not sure where the remote went. 😕 watching you looking for the plug was a hoot! So real. ☺thanks.
So true! Glad we're kindred spirits! :-) Happy gardening!
Lovely Jenny xx
Thanks Jasmine! :-)
Oh my gosh you are so funny! Lol I do stuff like that everytime I go into my garden. Constantly laying something down then wondering what the heck I did with it!! Your fountain looks fabulous!! Wonderful gift!!
🤣. Thank you!
Nice fountain 🌷💚🙃
Yes, thank you!
the moment you put that stopper down i thought oh no…and then you put the foreshadowing message.
hahaha! :-)
Love your bubbler fountain! Looks perfect in that spot! Thanks for sharing how you set it up each Spring. :)
Thanks for watching!
Jenny, I put little stones under mine and leveling is easier. 👍
Good tip, thanks!
I love that fountain! I would love a small one!! So funny with the stopper!!😳😳
Maybe let your loved ones know that you'd like one for an upcoming birthday. or holiday? :-)
Hi! New subscriber here from England. I have a half barrel pond on my patio with a solar fountain. It’s now in its sixth year and still going strong (the fountain) A good buy from Amazon. I’d love a bubbly fountain like this though. They’re so pretty. 😃👍
Hi and welcome! Yours sounds wonderful! Our porch is shaded, so solar won't work for us.
love it
Thanks!
Enjoyed the video, I feel you when something goes missing and you just had it,🤭! Have a blessed weekend!!
Thank you! You too!
I have a solar pump for my cement fountain I love it no cords just a solar panel to deal with. Love your videos
That is awesome! I have a solar pump elsewhere in the garden, but this spot doesn't get enough sun for that to work. So glad there are options for various needs and preferences! :-)
time to dig out my fountains….one has to be without the bubbler because a mallard hen uses it for a bath, i wondered if she’d return this year….and she’s been coming to the yard for a couple weeks. except, this year we have a 6 month german shorthaired pointer/ border collie mix….very prey driven dog😬so far she just looks at them, but she already innately going on point! so maybe she doesn’t get her bath. last year she’d spend the whole day in on some days!
So fun to watch the wildlife interact with our spaces... and then see how the pets react! Hopefully peace will reign in your garden!
What a lovely fountain!!!! ☀️💕
Thank you! I really love it!
Good day. Happy Easter and hopefully you are having a wonderful weekend. Thank you for taking us along in starting up the bubbler. And I have say what a cute one it is. Enjoy the bubbler and have a tea or something while you are sitting in the back.
Thank you! You too!
A fountain is on my list for this year. Thanks for the links to help me find something interesting.
Any time! Hope you find something you love!
Garden goal! Love a good gurgling sound.
You can do it!!!! there are a lot of inexpensive ways to get a great bubbler going in your garden. Go for it!!!!
Love your bubbler fountain ⛲️ we are getting our fountain out today too !! The birds love it 🥰
Wonderful! Love this time of year!
I have a small pond next to my deck, love the sound of the water. Love your bubbler, I may need to get one! I love your videos you bring a smile to my face! We garden the same, do what works for you!
Awesome! Thank you! I would like more water features... one day. :-)
I bet putting your fountain out each year really makes it feel like the season has arrived! I want one. :)
It does! There are lots of them available for reasonable prices... good luck!
very nice
Thanks!
Fab! Nice and relaxing gurgling sound😻. I'm sure I'll be setting up a gurgler sometime in the future.. meantime, I'm finishing up my small pondless waterfall this Spring and will be enjoying it all season (and more). I like your idea of the remote control and burying the connection. I have to use an extension from the garage and was debating how to do all that! My pump says don't use an extension cord but I have no other solution at this time. Unless I get an electrician to run a line to the shed from the garage. Thanks to your ingeniosity, I now have an answer! 😎Al.
Good luck! I'm interested in a waterfall, so might be having that project sometime this summer.
Your fountain looks great! Had such a chuckle at 'Foreshadowing' ! I have a similar fountain set up in a small garden bed between a patio and garden bench and I can hear and see this feature from either area. Do your dogs ever step into the garden to have a drink? My cat sure does! He loves it! Thanks for another informative video.
Our dogs don't really drink from it, but birds and bees do!
That one is really lovely, what a great gift. I bought a cement planter I want to turn into a fountain, pretty sure after watching this I know just how I'll go about it. I have a nice sz pond that has a small quiet waterfall, over time it stopped working, come to find out, I hit the electric planting something nice. I'm sure it was nice =^)
Of course it was something nice... you wouldn't have planted it otherwise, right? 😉 I'm dreaming of a waterfall and pond... one day.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden
Happy Easter. I love this planter, it has a nice shape and 4 birds on the back. I put in my own pond with a bog garden yrs ago, it's much easier than you think, I did have a friend with a backhoe for the hole. I purchased a kit that included my choice of plants and fish, altho I didn't know you should wait about adding fish for the first yr.
Love that fountain! Love the "foreshadowing" comment. So funny.. We have a mermaid fountain I bought on QVC about 6 years ago I think. It is solar so doesn't run all the time. Because of that I have to be careful to dump it out every week in so as mosquito larvae get in there. Yuck! But I love it and do do the birds.
Solar fountains can be so lovely! I think they're worth the work, don't you? :-)
Do the bees drink water from your fountain? It’s beautiful.
Yes, I've seen that a few times. :-)
Love this video yes I have a smallest 3 tiered fountain but at end of video I gasped at your blond dog looks just like my Sadie when I got her they said her mom was a Jack Russell which we had one we adored for 17 years but please Jenny can you tell me the breed of that dog.. never seen a dog that looks so much like mine!! Please reply!!! Thanks so much! Judy in Pensacola fl
HI Judy, we don't know exactly, but we think she's a Poodle/Yorkie mix of some kind. She was a rescue.
I would love to have a water feature like that but I'm not sure what the upkeep is. Do you need to clean out the fountain through the season or does it stay clean enough with the water movement? Also wondering if you leave it running all the time or turn it off at night? I worry about still water and mosquitoes, but not sure if people typically keep fountains running 24/7 through the season.
I turn mine on when we are outside, and turn it off at night. I've not noticed any mosquito problems, because we typically run it every day. Not much upkeep - I clean it out once per summer around late July or Early August, but that's about it
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden Thanks!
does your bubbler attract hummers?
You should put the fountain on a piece of concrete .
Well, see, that would require advance planning, more work, and more time. I'm much too spur-of-the-moment and let's just agree - lazy! hahaha!
