I just took some today, to show the painting I did, to hopefully avoid the algae, and to show the heavy screen I got, to block the mix from going through the holes too much. OK, I'm on my PC, where I can do this! LOL Number each bucket, table, lid and landscape cloth table cover( saves searching for the right fit). Doing this allows the table to easily slide into the bucket and seat. When making the water table I cut two nice size v's on each side(align with the drain holes in the bucket). solo cup with one small hole drilled in the bottom(keeps mosquitoes out of the water in the bucket). (bright colors supposedly attract aphids, ants, mites) and coat the painted section with vaseline so when the little varmits go to the colors they get stuck and die.(It works). The water intake tube I paint the top 6 in. Tie a knot in the top of the sock and soak in water. Slip the cup inside an athletic sock and fill with dirt to make the wick. solo cups and drill a series of holes in the bottom and around the sides to allow water penetration. I don't use the pond baskets but rather buy 16 oz. Take what they have and these are usually free with lids. and ask the baker if they have any buckets and lids. I get food grade buckets from my local supermarket bakery.
