Hi, I'm going to also post this on another board,but wanted to post here first.
Ok, I'm looking for a planter ring insert that goes inside a water fountain barrel. This is so I can place small flower pots/arrangements inside the barrel while the water is still going. I think that's what they're called, but i've googled forever and can't find them. ANyone have info on where I can look other than fountain supply, which I've already done? Or better yet,does anyone have an idea how I can make one myself?
Last year, I put bricks on the inside to act as a shelf for the plants, then inserted a pail in the center to hold the circulating water. While watering the garden, Hubby overwatered the pail, barrel filled with water, plants were soggy bottomed, pump filled with mud. Ugh!! |

| I am not "seeing" what you are after. Dirt in the fountain, will never work. Any planter has to have drainage. Maybe you should try water plants in your fountain. At the Green House we sink pots of water plants, sitting on bricks like you described. Sorry! |
