When I was growing up, my mom built a fountain in our back yard using old wine barrels and a water pump. We added plants and fish to the fountain and it was quite the centerpiece. We never had to worry about aquatic weed control in the small environment even though there are really good products now for ponds and such. I have been searching the internet for plans to build one, but I haven’t come across a good kit yet. If anyone has ever built one of these types of fountains, send me in the right direction! I think this would be a great project for the kids.
