Speaking of wasting water, My jeep fountain has been running dry within about 24 hours... I assumed the plastic sheeting I had used to get the water to flow back into the ground barrel had ripped and that water was just dumping into the dirt. Spent time getting the rocks removed, and the plastic is just fine. The barrel was full of water because it hasn’t been running.
So now I have to try to figure out where the water is going 🙁
But I’m also starting to think that it used to run just fine because I ran my sprinklers everyday. I haven’t used the fountain for a couple years because it was going dry.. but that’s also when I quit running my sprinklers daily.. which is what fills my barrel. 🤔 I’ll be really mad at myself if I’m just that dumb and didn’t realize it.
