“Looking to add a touch of elegance to your garden without splurging?

“I’ve got you covered with a simple and affordable DIY water fountain hack.”

In the clip she first grabbed a large plant pot and filled the bottom with pebbles to make sure it would stay in one place.

She then took a pot saucer that was slightly larger than the opening of the pot and placed it on top.

After, she grabbed her solar-powered water fountain kit and put it on the saucer and covered it with more pebbles.

Marta advised buying a solar-panel kit with a battery of at least 3.5w to ensure it works throughout the day.

You can purchase a similar one on Amazon for less than £15 which boasts seven sprinklers.

Finally, Marta got a watering can and filled the top with water and she finally had a gorgeous water fountain in her garden.

Another commented: “Do you have to keep putting water in there though?”

“Yes, couple of times a day. getting my steps in,” Marta replied.
