Installation of a Garden Tub

A garden tub provides a platform for growing flowers that both stands out amid a lawn and provides safety for plants from pets and other roaming animals. The installation of a garden tub involves its physical placement as well as its preparation with the kind of soil the plants require. You will need supplies from a home and garden shop and a few landscaping tools.
