We Had an Accident! Garden Answer seriously? : Slo-mo shows how it happens each time: the square corner of the urn base shifted over and fell into the large square opening at the top of the pedestal when you tipped it over to thread the tubing up the urn. The unexpected shift in weight of the heavy concrete urn when the base fell into the pedestal meant you had little time to catch it before it was too heavy and you lost control of it. Its a 3 person job. If you replace the fountain pool or need to tip the urn again rotate it so the corner of the base deliberately tips into the pedestal opening in a slow controlled dip while 2 people have a hold of it- the third person can do the tubing, wiring etc. then swing it upright and turn to straighten it. The pedestal opening is awfully big with a narrow rim for the urn to rest on. Or get a equipment to lift it off safely. With all of your large expensive $$$$ concrete fountains, pedestals and urns, you shouldnt attempt moving them alone anyways, my birdbath is heavy enough!

have rewatched this several times! So glad no one was hurt but the response from both was hilarious!
Question - if you arent thrilled with the fountain as the fountain it is now, why not reconfigure it?
Without the urn on top, it looks very like the one in your old garden. Can you add a short spacer to make it taller & put a different top on it like your old one? Use the urn elsewhere as a planter with a new base (already has a hole for drip)
As it is with the flowers in it now?
It is absolutely gorgeous!

I confess I did laugh when the urn fell, but I sort of was expecting something like that. On a more serious note - I'm concerned about the stability of that urn - it doesn't really seem to fit properly. I'm wondering if you need a smaller one. Anyway, I vote for water in the fountain as I love the sound of garden fountains. The plants do look beautiful though.

im sorry but i just came from the rock yard and i have to ask, what were they thinking when they laid those pavers like that>w. t. f. they took a nice thing and made it ugly. fugly even. in your eyes now they would never look good even if laid properly. they ruined it for every one

how do you know when irrigation is clogged? can you blow air into line? how to know where all the capped ends of run are? so as to flush thru. i would like to put drip to save evap, but need to know the pros and conns? and what type of freeze protection at end of year?

I almost choked on my drink when I saw the urn fall again, was not expecting that! I thought the reference to the fountain accident in the title was the previous accident! So funny. and how it fell in the exact same spot. Just a bigger hole to fix, as you say. :-)

Oh I held my breath the whole time that happened! With your natural approach to things, how will you guys handle the wasps nest? We have a lot of wasps that like to nest here so it would be super helpful to know your approach!

I have beautiful allium, and I spray paint them with the perfect color spray paint that matches perfectly, and the look beautiful till the very end, just wanted to say. love watching you, Rachel cooks with love.

Might not it be easier to glue a piece of stiff bent screen to fill the hole, then patch it with cement, you should be able to make it look as good as new. It is or was just a square corner, anyway good luck pt
