October 3, 2008, Newsletter Issue #84: Six Reasons To Use Solar-Powered Fountains And Accessories

Tip of the Week

You don’t have to deal with the complex process of wiring and conduit when providing electricity for your fountains and garden accessories. With the popularity of solar-powered fountains and accessories, most everything you need comes available in a sun powered package. Whether you’re looking for garden sculptures that light up, pathway lights for your backyard, a pump for your waterfall or a self-contained fountain, you can find one that runs on solar electricity. So why should you bother with these solar products? We have six good reasons why.

1. You’ll be minimizing the impact of running your garden products by using a renewable energy source.
2. Using a solar-powered fountain or accessory is a great start to creating some savings on energy costs.
3. You can avoid the need for running an electrical source and having to provide wiring to your fountain or fountain accessory.
4. Solar-powered products for the garden tend to be low maintenance. You simply allow the sun to do its work and the product runs on its own.
5. You have a lot of choices. Major retailers, like Lowes and Home Depot, carry solar power garden products. You can find these items online and in specialty stores. Get a decorative butterfly that glows at night or a bird bath with circulating water.
6. Solar cells don’t disrupt the appearance of a gardening product. These days, the solar cells are cleverly disguised and don’t detract from the appearance of the product.
