The $40 solar fountain that made me rip out my pond liner
Everyone says pond liners are the backbone of a water feature. I put one in last May with a solar fountain pump, and within 6 weeks the liner had a slow leak that turned the whole thing into a mud pit. Turns out the pump's base plate wore a hole through the cheap liner where it sat. I pulled the liner out, packed the bottom with 3 inches of pea gravel, and now the water just seeps into the ground naturally. Has anyone else ditched the liner entirely for a gravel basin, or am I the only one who got burned this way?

Pea gravel is the only way to go honestly.
