A hydroponic garden is a type of garden that uses water instead of soil to grow plants. This allows you to grow more plants in a smaller space, making it ideal for people who live in urban areas or apartments without yards. You can also use the water from your hydroponic garden on other parts of your lawn equipment, such as trees and shrubs.

8) Swimming Pool
