Buena enseñanza are lomismo gracias

put in blooming plants for bugs and pollinators .

Thank you, your video was very helpful.

What type of paint was used to brush on the design?

Nice video and very helpful tutorial. We just bought a rain barrel and planning to install next weekend. Thank you

Hi great job

In case anyone is watching this video in 2020, I thought I would share my experience. We installed a rain barrel this year from one of the roof gutters on our home. When the first storm came (admittedly, a long rain storm), the overflow hose was not able to empty as fast as the barrel was filling up. In less than two hours, the 60 gallon barrel was overflowing and after two more hours of rain, the area surrounding the barrel - and next to the house - was flooded. To address the problem, we are ordering a diversion gutter piece that can be manually switched from emptying either into the rain barrel or the traditional drainage system away from the house (ideally, to a rain garden.) Another option is to install multiple rain barrels and link them together for additional capacity. Also, had I measured the size of our roof and calculated the amount of runoff prior to installing the barrel, I would have known that the barrel would fill up to capacity in certain storms. Oh well, lesson learned.

Thanks for the demonstration. I will have to strip the paint and do it again

I built a floating wetland using this video. THANK YOU! I posted photos on my instagram found here: instagram.com/p/B8UoTz5gzsT/?igshid=1ss6jn5jdcity I unfortunately followed the directions on the can for the marine foam. Mix only for 12 seconds NOT 45 seconds as instructed on the can. After 45 seconds it was too thick to pour through the poly fiber. I ended up with too much foam and the island wasn’t sitting deep enough in water. I ended up having to gut the top of the poly fiber so i could add more weight (soil, plants). It ended up working out and I’ll be checking on the island tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not at the bottom of the pond. ha

How long do these last?

Thanks for the video instruction. Is there a reason to use the white/cream colored Poly-Flo filter material vs. the black, as the black is UV stabilized? Also, how much flotation foam per square foot of Poly-Flo filter material?

Great idea... But we can replace all of that plastic with floating bamboo raft..

So in effect, you are just dumping a load of plastic into the wetland environment. No matter what you do, that plastic will degrade and break down over a period of time.

Thank you for the tutorial.

But aren't the roots supposed to be in direct contact with the water? O:

Great idea

Can you tell me where you order your poly-flo filter material in bulk rolls from?

May i get the information abou what kind of wetland plants i can use in tropical regions like south of india (CHENNAI)..

Thank you for the excellent video - I',m excited to get started on my rain-barrel project!

Just in the process of installing a rain barrel for the first time. Thanks for such clear instructions on how to do it right.

Thank you so much for the excellent video. I did one barrel and thought I was doing a fair job. Now I know that I am using the correct paint but definitely will really take my time to create some fun garden art. I have 3 more barrels to go . It's design time. :) Sandi

Hi. Loved this soooooo much I did exactly your steps, and paint scuffs and scratches off. This is my second attempt and am getting the same results. Can you help me get the paint to stick to the barrel? Tell me what if any thing to do.

thank you

Nice job... any idea where I can get a cheap drum in NJ?

Thanks

Good job
