we are planning our rock garden and I would like to add a water feature either a pot with bubbler or i saw this really cute thing at lowes it looked like big bamboo sticks tied together that had water flowing out it. any ideas on how to incorporate it?

Thanks,
Tammy

First, Welcome to Hallson's!! We are glad to have you!!

Was the thing you saw look like this one? Let me tell ya, I have to go through 3 to get one that worked right.....it was uneven and if the spout thing is, it didn't go up and down.....I do like it but I didn't run it this summer....too hot for me to keep it clean....

Sorry I have no ideas for you.....someone else might though....

Have fun on the forums!! If you need anything, just yell!

That 'thing' Goosey, is a Shishi Odoshi or Japanese Deer Scarer ( small version

)
I thought you would have known that by now, after all of my teaching and the help I have been giving you over all these past years

No lucy that is not it. But I do like that one too. The one I saw was three all going in the same direction (standing up) and the water came up and over them. It looked like it was sittind directly on the rocks in the rock garden(I am sure it had a tub underneath). I will try and find a picture.
The pot idea is now out woke up this morning and my neighbor had added one to his flower bed lastnight. (sneaky fox lol)

if you are a dab hand with a saw and a few other basic tools, you can turn a bit of bamboo into all sorts of water handling features...
