how to make a choice now ...to many good ones

Thanks Martin. I've been going through all my snapshots of the various layouts and I am still not happy.

Trying to resist the urge to try different rocks... While my collection of Baltic rock is nice, I am lacking a few more angled pieces to really make things consistent.

I still like number 4

Thanks Tim. What is it about #4 that you like?

Hi curvball , the rocks seem really balanced to me in number 4 with a natural route through the hard scape, also looks to me to have the option to have a few different planting options, which could be good longer term to try a few different plants here and there, depends how long you want the scape to run. Good layouts so far though mate, I admire your patience I'd have planted 4 a week ago

Thanks Tim, appreciate your input.


...and I have been busy again, and there is something I really like about this one. What do you think?

(Apologies for the poor image, it is just a snapshot with poor lighting so you can't fully appreciate the flow of the grain of the actual rocks)

And now with added refinement. Going to sleep on this one and see how I feel in the morning both pre and post coffee...

 

[Curvball]

Pre coffee... Mmmmm... Post coffee... Meh.

Think I need to look again after work.

I like that. I feel it has good balance and a real sense of depth.

Thanks Daniel. I'm standing looking at it right now, and it has really grown on me.

I think this is in need of some planting... Speak now if you disagree

journal time

Do it. And remember;

if you doubt your power, you power your doubts...

 

[Curvball]

I tweaked a few more things in this layout. Really feeling it now

This will be the last update of the layout until I get the journal started where I will discuss my planting ideas, seek your input and hopefully achieve my final vision for this 'scape.

May I present:

Hi no Yama

Can't wait to see some more on this...

will you do the same with your planting as you did with your hardscape?....plant, replant and replant again...

Ha ha, probably...

nice. Liking the bias to the right. With the smaller ' loadoftoshi' stone on the left acting as s counter point
