Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden

RE: Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden By jessiegumby (1) Contact I started investigating an alternate garden this year as our old garden area was destroyed by a wildfire last year. We had stared with the idea of the "feed sack" garden but this idea seems alot easier. Our growing season is very short so we don't need the depth for root vegtables. Does anyone know what a load of gravel or of dirt would cost? Posted on 03/29/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden By LadyGreyWolf (1) Contact Great job, Mom #2! (this is her daughter-in-law) lol. I will be doing a few of these this year too. Miracle-Gro has come out with an Organic potting/garden soil I am going to use.

Love the recycle, reuse aspect and the veggies and the fun you can have doing the garden. Thank you so much for sharing. I will proudly do this in Spring!

Soil in the bags is not cheap and I'm not up to digging up dirt to fill the pool.

This is also a good idea for those who have poor soil and can't garden "as is" and for those who rent and don't want to dig up their landlord's property. Plus the fact that you were able to recycle. Good for you! Posted on 02/18/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden By Mary (Guest Post) Fabulous idea! You certainly have a green thumb!

Now I just might! Posted on 02/14/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden By gramhome (4) Contact This is a great idea! I've got one of thos plastic ones. Do I punch holes in it? Course, by now it probably has some holes! Posted on 02/14/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden By Karen L. (Guest Post) I did this last year. I put tomato plants in it. It did good! I had used it the year before for my ducks and geese and a big tree limb fell in it and pierced it during a late summer storm. So I already had drainage in it too! Posted on 02/13/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Use a Child's Wading Pool as a Garden By Karen M. (Guest Post) I absolutely love your idea. I buy one of those every year and hate throwing it away, now I don't have to. I can use one and then each next year pass along a micro garden to someone else. You know this would be great for people with disabilities. I mean they are small, you could put it up on a picnic table and it would be at higher level for them. Great idea.

Wonder how many of these go to the landfills every year. Posted on 02/12/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
