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!

House in Texas with foundation problems. Due to the dry conditions, the inside of the house is settling and causing doors to stick, drywall to crack, etc.

I know people use soaker hoses to maintain the perimeter of a house, but will soaker hoses also add moisture to the middle of the home…or is there another method I should be considering?

I’m not thrilled about the idea of installing piers, as it would be very expensive. I do have some piers already installed on the perimeter of the house.
