    You put us all to shame starting on the garden that early @wiseowl. Where do you get your energy from? :)

                    Hello @BeeHappy why thank you just let me know when you want Woo and I will be there I would walk a 1000 miles in tight shoes for you;)

                    I still have all the walls to paint and the fence to stain,and the housework to do,cook all the meals every day and still have this area to plant up,but haven't got a clue what to do with it:smile:

                          Woo, I put a pump in the little bath pond I made last year. The water level dropped a bit, and overnight the pump practically emptied the rest of the water out :noidea:- the surrounding plants were having a party! This year, when it warms up a bit I thought I`d try to think up a way of making a cheapie waterfall instead. Wish me luck, I shall need it ....I`m no plumber.

                            The most efficient way of having a water fall is to try to make the "head" of the water above the pump as short as possible. It doesn't matter how deep the pump is situated, the "head," (the amount of water it has to lift) is measured from the surface of the water. Try to get as few bends in the supply pipe as possible, if you have to have a bend, make it a "sweep" bend, not a right-angled one, sweep bends offer less resistance.
