Life throughout the garden is very diverse so when it comes
to providing water I use a variety of systems. All systems need to be in a shaded
area where water can be easily accessed.

The best birdbaths are those that automatically fill as
evaporation rates are very high in summer. I have several around the gardens
and also in the orchards. These are fitted with a float valve connected to a
water supply. Just drill a hole to fit the float valve I have used terracotta, ceramic
and plastic for these.

The geese, chooks and dogs all are in the gardens at some
time each day. Their water containers are simple, usually large cooking
utensils minim of 10 litres just placed on the ground that is easily accessed
and close to a tap for refilling.
There are some simple bird/insect baths that consist of a
bowl usually sitting on a frame so as they cannot be accessed by the poultry
and dogs. This one is a ceramic bowl on a frame used to hold a garden pot. It
has a rock in the centre so creatures can land. It needs to be near a water
source for refilling .I also use a series of bowls on the ground for the skinks
and other lizards.

The fun bird baths are made out of vases, bowls,
plates-really anything that takes your fancy. I usually find these in local op
shops. Having fun I’ve added a plant
level .These are all just glued together depending on the materials ( I have
been guided by our local hardware shop
which are very helpful) Some have drainage holes but some glass is hard
to drill but the plants seem to be doing well in both systems. Here are a few
I’ve made the small birds love them all as do the bees.
