A garden is a cultivated outdoor space where flowers, trees, vegetables and herbs are grown for various aesthetic or utilitarian purposes. Modern gardens can be organic and eco-friendly or rely on technology and scientific advancements.
When you grow your own vegetables, you can be sure they’re fresh. Most produce that we buy in the store has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles before it ends up on our plates.
A GARDENING pro said he uses an unexpected product to keep his garden clean.
A bright pink kiddie pool might seem like it’s meant for little girls to splash around in, but it actually serves as the perfect set-up space.

Alex Calamia (@alexcalamia) is a self-proclaimed plant lover who is passionate about climate change, science, and gardens.
Often sharing his simple tips to inspire those who want to give gardening a shot, the green thumb said his latest $5 purchase is one that has kept his process mess-free.
“One of my favorite garden tools is this aggressively pink kiddie pool,” he began in the clip.
Although it might seem to stick out like a sore thumb in his lush yard, he only uses it for prep and then can store it away.
“We know potting soil can get things a little dirty, so I decided to use this kiddie pool to pot up plants in my house during the winter time and it kept all the dirt inside.”
Rather than leave crumbs of soil and leaf clippings spread across your floor, this plastic tub contains it all and creates an easy clean-up situation.
“Now I’m even using it to keep my outdoor deck clean from potting soil.
“It’s just so much easier than having to pick up the dirt, it saves a lot of time, and it’s kind of fun.”
