hi here is a pic of shadehouse plants being readied for permanent homes lol have just started on the epiphyte plantings , Have placed a few ferns but most of the orchids are still in pots hanging near the chosen location. With this kind of planting have to srart at the tree tops and work down or trample what's undeneathlol Actually the misters have only run twice this summer more than enough rainfall in fact too much lol. i am getting excellant drainage from the beds as intended but in spite of my almost pure sand soil I'm getting the "jungle effect anyway can't dig down as get seepage at around a foot The ground level plantings are still undecided naturally so real paths are still tenuous . just need something that can keep the walk areas from getting muddy . that won't wash away and pushed into the soil . On the deep shade area i've placed some scrap boards but the tend to slide . thanks gary

HA HA Just wait till the next windy day, Their lovely little garden planter will be halfway across the county! Obviously for the "tidy people". Look, they are wearing rubber gloves to cut sytrofoam! And some of us don't even wear gloves for mixing caustic portland. WIMPS! lol Jo

Well, that is just amazing! I've never heard of this product, but will definitely check it out! Your planter and floating rock turned out really well....the rock especially looks like the real thing! Thanks for the info and the link~

I don't know where you can get skimmer box covers, but there is a product I'm currently experimenting with called "Rock on a Roll". I'm making a rock floating island. I'll post pictures when I'm done. Here is a link that might be useful: Rock on a Roll
