Small City Spaces

Small city spaces can gain benefit from container based water gardens that have plants and other wildlife that are usually associated with bigger habitats. Container based-gardens can be found at home and garden centers which also sell accessories such as small waterfalls, fountains and even illumination appliances that can make it more attractive and functional. Patio�s that have at least 5 hours of sunlight are the ideal places but anywhere the sun touches would be nice. Shade in the hot afternoons is also needed for as we suffer from sunburn, so do plants. Be sure to locate your water garden within easy reach of a water source to lessen the effort of topping it up during hot days where evaporation tends take toll. Maintain the water quality with regular cleaning, making sure the water is free from pests such as insects and other nasty bugs. Water treatment solutions can be found in pet stores to lessen if not halt algae growth which becomes unsightly in such a small space.
