Re: wading pool gardens

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Jessica,
Yes they are. As a matter of fact several years ago we found a duck and used
one for his swimming pool.  It stayed in the yard with bricks stacked in it
and made a great bird bath when we had 4 months with no rain last year.  Our
yard was very popular with the birds!  It does get a bit scummy thou so
would recommend rinsing it now and then and try to keep leaves out (they get
really bad).
