Grape vine wood tank safe?

[Lindy]

I've been collecting vine wood while out walking. Am I right in thinking this is tank safe? Going to bring back what I can and leave the rest for next time.

It is very therapeutic picking off the bark

I'm pretty sure its tank safe, you'll want to be certain, I hear it rots quickly though. Nice pieces, where did you find them? You're in France aren't you? Oh and I might use the word tedious rather than therapeutic but hey that's just me

Hi Lindy,
i used vine wood in Dragons Crypt. It was safe short term but by the end of its 1 year life it had developed some unusual 'mould' and when removed was very soft and a little smelly! It is a soft wood so does rot.
Cheerio,
Ady.

Probably roots wood last longer, take a shovel on your next walk

Edvet I think the farmers would shoot me, literally! They are all out with their guns and dogs after wild boar at the mo.

tell them you saw a boar's nest under their vines...........

I think I'll bring it back anyway. It hasn't cost me anything and I've room in the luggage so if a piece only lasts a year then no loss. I'll just use them to jazz up the betta tanks. I also use heather which I'm sure won't last long but again, it's free!

You have room in your luggage!?!

I need you to talk to Mrs. O

In the car i bet, just take a little less wine from France.My sis always goes back to the UK with a car full of groceries.

No, luggage, I pack light. My sister and mother however do not. I'm a freak...
