But the required space, landscaping, logistics, maintenance, and expense drives many away from this dream. The solution is the freestanding container pond or water garden, also known as a tub or patio pond. If you are plagued by a black thumb, this is no-fail gardening. If you are an aquarist, take your hobby outside to breed and maintain interesting fishes and other aquatic life with minimal effort and fast grow-out..........
