The 5 Types of Water Gardens

Water Gardens
 |
Water gardens and container gardens are the simplest of all forms of watergardening. When your primary interest is growing aquatics plants, water quality is not a major concern. Usually all that is needed is some liner, a pump, a small filter and some tubing.
The Tempo Kit or the Prelude Kit are the perfect size for a small feature.
 Container gardens are simply anything that can hold water and a pump. You can successfully grow aquatic plants in any container garden and also enjoy the sights and sounds of running water. Glazed Pottery - Old Antiques can be made into focal features for the garden. When you are looking for that quick weekend makeover project consider a Fountain Basin, Pondmaster pump, and a Bubbling Rock.
Don't Forget Mexican Beach Pebbles to cover the grate. |

Patio Ponds
 |
Patio Ponds are usually bought as a complete kit and are no larger than 1,400 gallon capacity. These ponds are
used for growing aquatic plants and are great for large goldfish and small to medium size Koi. This is a wonderful entry into Water Gardening and most begin here only to move on to the bigger Eco Pond. Many manufacturers of small kits like this supply inadequate filtration and an undersized pump. Which leads to an unpleasant experience for a 1st timer. We've taken great strides to ensure your 1st experience with water gardening is a successful one.

of maintenance. |
