Default Re: DFB's Greenthumb Project

Thanks for the run down on the process of sorting the bare root stock DFB
The Fernery and pond have come along way too, good stuff.

Thought I'd share a little green project I've been working on.
Uninspired by one of my planted tanks I thought I'd change it up. Normally I like to do natural landscapes in them but this time I thought I'd try an underwater Bonsai.
After spending a day picking up suitable twigs around the golf course I set about joining a few together to make little trees and stumps before weighting them down with rocks.



Then came the painstaking task of attaching the moss with cotton. No mean feat with wet, XL sized hands.
Got there in the end. Sorry about the pics the tanks still a little murky from the build.



And all done.



The jurys still out on it but its early days, the 'trees' and background plants still need to grow and I think it needs a few small foreground plants aswell. I'll post some pics as it all develops.
