PROGRAM:
“Take it Outside! Summer Tubbing for Fish Breeding and Water Gardening”
The required space, maintenance, and expense of a traditional pond dissuades many from a garden water feature. The solution is the freestanding container or tub pond. If you are an aquarist, move your fishroom outside to breed or maintain tropical fishes and other aquatic life with minimal effort and fast grow-out. If you are plagued by a black thumb, this is no-fail gardening. Presented by the hobby’s leading voice on “summer tubbing” for the past 25 years, and author of the acclaimed “Tub Pond Handbook”, now in its 3rd edition (www.amazon.com/dp/B091W9WLDP)
