WANTED: I need a gazing ball for my pond and for decoration.

16 years ago

I have seen several people use little gazing balls for their pond. They just sit on the surface of the water, and add demension, so does anyone have one. And while I am posting here, does anyone have a larger gazing ball to put on a stand. I have a stand that would work, but I dont have a ball for it. Anyone have one. And as well, does anyone have a rooting ball. I havent been able to find another one anywhere, so if anyone has any, it would be graetly appreciated.

One of my husband's friends - a tightwad if ever there was one - decided to make his own. He took a kid's bouncy ball the size he needed, & painted it. He put his on poles on either side of the driveway. I think he put enough cement down inside the little hole to keep it from bouncing off the pole.
