This little section of the yard came about when a friend
noticed one of his neighbors had an old tub sitting behind his garage. My
friend was told that the tub was destined for the dump. Well, after
hearing that, I decided that there had to be a better use for an old tub,
then taking up space in a dump somewhere.
 |
I called the owner of the tub and asked if I could have it. "If you can
pick it up, it's yours" I was told. One of my sons has a friend with
a truck, so he called a few friends over and off they went to collect my
tub. With a lot of muscle power, they carried the tub from the driveway to
the back of my yard. They then dug a hole so I could bury the tub about
half way. I didn't want it to be flush with the ground so it would stay
cleaner longer. |
 |
Now, the time came to figure out what to line it with to keep the water
in. I went into the garage and quickly discovered some old water bed
liners from years earlier. Once again, I lined the tub first with a tarp,
and then cut one of the water bed liners to fit. It's a testament to the
water bed liners! Each liner has lasted approximately 4 years before
needing to be changed. We collected more rocks, I planted the little bed
around the tub and added a pump. This fountain seems to change every year.
This year I have the urn flowing into a clay dish...for the birds of
course.
These pictures were taken in Spring. During the summer, you can barely
see the pond as the plants seem to take over.
