Needreefunds Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 the only game ive played - black ops, I dont do consols usually. richie did you consider hypertufa for the background? Doesn't erode as fast and a bit harder to mold into the desired shape, but that is what i'm gonna do because the roots can still dig in. heres a link with the recipe Thanks for the link. I really want the clay to work. I like the idea of being able to reshape it, add to it if need be. Also like that you can just tuck a snipping into the clay and it should take root. That said though, I still have time to change my mind should the clay not work out the way I want. Link to comment

I like the tufa because it wont erode. I of course want some pretty fancy water features and the clay won;t withstand those. I wanted to do clay at first too. I may supplement the tufa with clay in parts tho. i think that would be cool. Hey wilioli, sounds cool. I'll let you know if or rather when i'm in the neighborhood. Link to comment

This area will have no clay and is outlined in foam to protect the clay area from running water. Please let us see what you come up with- whenever that is. Dammit Richie- another highjacked thread! *sigh* Link to comment

Dammit Richie- another highjacked thread! *sigh* It'll be a spring break project, hopefully, if my girl decides to lend a hand instead of distracting me. I'm thinking a two part waterfall right down the middle of the 20 long with a pool in the middle. I want it to be the focal point. should be fun. plus i've got a few special ideas in store too, they're top secret tho Link to comment

My sister was undecided, and my dad didn't want to have to do anything (yet he's still topping it off daily). Otherwise I would have sold it all a few months back, Link to comment
