We started with ascertain the center of our oddly shaped back garden by assess from all angles .
The 36″ galvanized fire mob was buy from a local feed provision butthis one is exchangeable . I have exchange upto a magnanimous one here !
NOTE : I should ’ve placed wire meshing under it to foreclose rodent from tunnel but failed to do so . I would advise you to be sure to admit that whole tone .
Supports for galvanized tub
The next step is to adjudicate on a firm support for the galvanized tub . You need something solid so it can hold up the weight of the tub filled with urine . My husband recommended clinker block but I used the 12″ concrete pavers . I had them on bridge player already .
Using 3 of the concrete pavers I prepare them in and made indisputable they are placed where the bottom rim of the galvanized tubful will set .
Then I filled in with pull weed , garden debris and some volaille bedding from the pen . piss it in to settle it .
It can be slippery to keep the pavers on edge until you have it filled in enough to fend for them but it can be done .
occupy with whatever you wish but entrust about 6″ room for pot soil or aged compost on top . Then go ahead and top it up with the potting soil or compost .
Because mine is fill up partially with garden junk it will sink down as that dust compost . I will just add more aged compost or potting soil as it does so .
Now is the time to place the galvanized tub on top of the pavers . Center it as much as potential .
Some part of the pavers may show but they will soon be concealed by the plant we will plant in there .
Next meet the bath with water and add your solar fountains .
As I terminate up the pathways and the flowers fill in I know this DIY planter with solar fountain will make a stunning garden centerpiece .
