DIY Trough Planter with Water Feature

Add a handy trough planter with a cool water feature to your garden or farm.

SUPPLIES

– Carrot seeds – Solar Pump – Potting soil – Muck bucket  – Trough

STEP 1.

Start with a water bucket and trough with an open drain.

STEP 2.

Drill drainage holes in the bottom of the trough. Add soil for fill. I used junk soil in the bottom.

STEP 3.

Follow up by adding potting soil on top. Wet and pack down your soil around the smaller bin.

STEP 4.

Fill your water bucket. Add a solar fountain pump.

STEP 5

You may want to remove the tip to the fountain so it doesn't lose water if you live in a windy area. Add your seeds of choice and watch them grow!
