I found similar surveys at Michaels and was surprised at the price of just one of these poles. I want it for $70 and I got my two pack for about $30 on Amazon and I'm happy with the quality and ease of assembly, I just had to screw these pieces together and within 5 minutes I had both posts assembled because April is Mother's Day Month. Earth I wanted to dedicate my channel to all things green and eco-

friendly

options, and solar lights are definitely an eco-

friendly

, practical, and money-saving option when it comes to decorating your

backyard

or outdoor landscaping. of my solar options at Walmart have great prices and I have been amazed at the quality and how the items have been presented season after season.

I'm a bit of a solar energy junkie and have a lot of solar lights everywhere. my house in the front on the side and now for a while now I've been wanting to add some of these lights which if you look at them, they're pretty expensive and I definitely didn't want to plug them in. and I knew I was getting a lot of sunlight in my backyard, so going solar is the perfect option for these lights. The previous owner already had this post attached to the fence, so he already had a place to put the lights and needed two posts to do it. the rest of the work, if you have considered doing a project like this before in your backyard you may have already seen what other options there are, some people use planters that they fill with cement and a 2x4 inside and other people place the 2x4 with cement directly into the ground, neither of these options I wanted to do and I definitely didn't feel like dealing with cement, so I was happy that these stakes for these posts went deep into the ground and were sturdy enough for me as long as I don't rent Our house, we bought it about a year and a half ago.

This would be the perfect

renter

project if you want to do something like this in your backyard. This won't be the first time I've brought up the bugs. my channel because if you're familiar with Houston, then you know we get all kinds of bugs here, especially mosquitoes, in the summer, and this dinosaur trap I bought on QVC last year was a big necessity so I could enjoy my backyard from the At the time we moved into our house last year we were constantly attacked by mosquitoes and once I installed this Dino Trap we saw the population decrease greatly and we were able to enjoy our backyard space and I think our neighbors are even getting some benefit from it.

Also, I believe this is a 4 acre Dino trap and it is the older model. Newer models come with an easy to empty bottom, but this was the first time I emptied this basket in the entire year I had it, so there were a lot of bugs in there and I just gave it a good clean for the season and plugged it back in. , hopefully one day they will make it as a solar option, but you definitely don't want to place this directly near where your seating spaces are. outside see the rest of the video I thought I would show off some of the other solar features in my backyard, like these reflectors, they are cool.

I didn't need to hire an electrician to install them. I was able to do it myself and These solar water fountains are great and add a little peace of mind to your backyard. Now I'm going to show you some of my plants that are starting to bloom and really take off. These gray hairs are some of my favorites and they come back year after year and Texas state flow, the blue bonnet I hope you enjoyed this video, stay tuned for more gardening, healthy lifestyle, crafts and DIY videos and if you like this video, definitely hit this subscribe button.

I love the way these lights turned out, even though they aren't the brightest. lights and you won't get great illumination from them, they add that touch of ambiance and class to the backyard that I was really missing in this section. I have been impressed with the amount of illumination I get every night I have gone. It goes out several times in the middle of the night and all these lights are still on, illuminating my garden and adding a sense of tranquility.
