Water plants are not that picky when it comes to soil so you can use almost any type of dirt that you find around. You can also fill part of your container with rocks so you can save up the amount of dirt you have to put in.

DIY Pond in a pot
We found another wonderful idea of a DIY project that can turn a simple pot into a work of art and your house into a more beautiful place. In case you are a fan of water plants and ponds, but you are not a friend of digging holes in your garden, you should definitely try this. It's easy to do!
This picture guide is pretty self explanatory and you can see that as far as materials go it's pretty inexpensive. Once you know what container you are going to use, just seal the bottom of the container to prevent the water pouring out, and fill it up with soil. Depending on what plants you are planning to grow you should adjust the depth of the water, by adding containers that you can fill up with soil. You can try to do it as in the picture on the left, or another simple idea is to use another smaller pot that you simply place inside and fill up with soil. The container can be either terracotta, plastic or metal... or perhaps you can recycle something that you were about to throw out (an old bathtub or half of a truck tire, be creative).

Quick tip: Organize your seeds
Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you a quick tip that I found the last days that can greatly improve your gardening experience.
It's regarding organization and it provides a simple solution in case you have too many seed types that you need to store.
You can use a CD wallet to keep them organized. You can also sort them by category (ex: Flowers at the beginning and vegetables at the end of the wallet). You can even store them chronologically starting with the first seeds that you should plant in your garden and moving forward through the spring and summer months.
And since we are sharing tips, it can also be a good idea to store the whole CD wallet in a cold dry place, like a metal box down in a basement, or a cool place in the shed. This will ensure that your seeds have a longer life and are ready to pop-up as soon as you plant them.
