Hummingbird Thrift Store Finds for Solar Fountain & Raised Bed Container Garden & Tying Up Tomatoes



Great items for Hummingbird feeders, bird bath, solar fountain ideas, and so much more. Shopping for items for the Garden and making Hummingbird Bird Baths and for solar fountains. This was fun, and I got right to work using all my items, watch for all the fun videos coming from these very things I purchased here, HOW FUN!

    My fav thrift store had a Parking Lot 10c Sale on Monday. OhMy! I got there 15 mins before the cut off. I spent a whole dollar! My main purchases were 100% heavy cotton sheets. There's NoWay I could ever buy that much fabric that cheaply anywhere else. I did get a pool noodle too. Why? you may ask… I put the totes that are empty under my eaves to collect rain water. I was finding pollinators were drowning. I now have a piece of tulle floating on the surface, lifted from underneath with that pool noodle (cut into long slices) & wine corks.

    Those Tupperware cake keepers would probably make great fountain bases. When you flip them over, the bottoms have a lip. Just poke a hole for your tubing and drainage, notch for the wire, then fill with water and your pump, put rocks on the top or a foam ball or whatever. The round or rectangular would work. Now I'm off to scour the cabinets for my unused cake keepers!

    I bought a couple of excellent sized hard plastic serving plates to use for humming birds but my soldering iron wouldn't melt it. I tried using a regular drill bit, but it just slid off. What other ways can holes be made in hard plastics if drill bits (regular and concrete bits) will not do it? Thank you.

    I got my first Solar fountain, the birds don't count to it yet but I live watching it and listened to it

    Its about time to see a person thrifting for sake of their personal uses and not for selling and for the bargains too!!!! My thrifting is for my home,gifting,home decorating,because I cannot afford new most times my finances do not work like that,but thank God has provided for me to care for my family with these places too😏bless the Lord,thank you robbie,have fun. I have not been out much since march 2019. Its great to start getting out getting shots in 2021 fresh air feels good even with masks on too!!! Thank you!!!!!!

    Listen to Robbie, the melamine can be so pretty, but if you try to melt it, you'll probably burn yourself, like I did when I tried to use a
    solder on it. Don't do it. Lot's of plastic to choose from, and much easier to work with, especially your first attempt at a fountain.

    I’m praying you aren’t in the area where the wild fires & you are safe. 💕🐞

    LOL! You shop just like I do! I haven't been in a thrift store since February, 2020! I miss it, too! So this was good for me to watch your video. It was just like going "Goodwill" shopping myself – but I saved money this way. Thank you Robbie!!

  14. Monroe Mom

    Something about your videos is just so soothing to me. Also informative, but totally in my comfort zone. Thanks.

  22. Rocio

    What about a 1' x 10' piece of lumber sitting on bricks to set the totes on?

    I miss going to the thrift stores… a friend and I would go together. She passed away at the end of 2019 from cancer that had spread throughout her body.😭 I haven't been back. This makes me excited to venture out again back to some of our favorite places. She would live these ideas.

    i just discovered your channel this week, I have a solar pump on its way to me. Thank you for the cool ideas! We don't have that may hummingbirds in my area but many birds and maybe some insects will enjoy my fountain.

  32. R G

    Hi Robbie quick question can the sugar water in the hummingbird feeder really ferment and become poisonous to the hummingbirds 🤔

  33. Annie

    I love love ❤ your videos !!! I started working on my hummers bath solar fountain yesterday and now all I have to do is place it somewhere. I'm already planning my next fountain after seeing this video ! THANKS ROBBIE for your genius 👏 ideas. 😎

  34. Maureen

    It was great shopping with you open my eyes for new bird baths. Love u Robbie. ❤️❤️👍👍

    Enjoying this, yet realizing I still have 2 sheds left to go thru with my mom's stuff whichI might cam give new life to. 😉 I did use one of her old melamine serving trays which was deep enough to put water in but shallo2 enough to put rocks and clear marbles along with a solar fountain. The hummingbirds loved it. 😁
