Bamboo Fountains
The Deer Chaser is a popular fountain with an interesting history. It was originally developed and used by Japanese farmers as a method to ward off wildlife. It's probably the oriental version of a scarecrow with deer the primary target. They are ideal around water gardens or at the edge of a pond and range in price from $30-$50.
Easy To Construct
Fountains come in a variety of styles. Bamboo fountains are normally purchased in kit form but if you don't have strong technical skills don't worry, they are very simple to construct. Instructions are easy to follow and even attaching a pump which usually accompanies most kits, is relatively easy.
Spinning features indispersed with the sound of running water and moveable parts will ensure it's one of the most noticed objects in any garden.
Feng Shui
The importance of bamboo water fountains in the world of feng shui cannot be underestimated. Their ability to bring a tranquil and peaceful quality to any surrounding environment whether indoors or outdoors, is one of the main reasons Feng Shui enthusiasts find them irresistible.
Because moving water is said to bring good luck and prosperity to it's surroundings, the use of bamboo water fountains is ideal within a home's environment. The water is said to rejuvenate and move stagnant chi and add a proper balance of chi within that particular area.
It makes sense; stagnant water will eventually become murky and lifeless but running water rejuvenates and refreshes.
