How can I make a water garden from a metal tub?
I have a tiny backyard (basically a patio with about 1" of sod perimeter). I have one of those metal tubs that are sometimes used to bathe dogs in out of doors. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to use this tub to start a teensy tiny little water garden?
Also, does anyone have any tips for creative gardening? I have a 6ft solid privacy fence that encloses my backyard. I already have flowers in a wagon (with drain holes) and pots of tomatoes and peppers and marigolds etc. I’m trying to keep everything mostly potted since the ground in my yard doesn’t drain well and it mostly clay.
Thanks!!!
PS I live in hot sultty humid ga!

Put water in the tub. Put dechlorinator in it and then a couple of bunches of underwater grass (anacharis), floating plants, an emergent plant and a few mosquito fish. You now have a pond.
i like the look of an old chair with a hole cut out of the seat part and a pot of flowers put into it. Painting it with crakle paint makes it look amazing.
