    Soft water Walstad style tank - which plants?

    Hey, Thanks for the replies. I'd already looked at the map from SW water, sadly I couldnt work out from there where i was as I look to be on the cusp of the central part of exeter/east devon.However, given the lack of limescale in the house and kettle I'm going to assume that I'm in the medium...

    Soft water Walstad style tank - which plants?

    Hi, I've recently moved from London to Exeter and am trying to sort my tank out. It suffered a little from the early packing and the journey but came back fairly well, however following a one week holiday where my parents where house sitting, I was informed that for some reason the lights did...

    Growing Mosses

    Growing Mosses

    Liviging Waters is where I picked up my little pack. Though to be fair, I wouldn't go all the way there just to pick up some Moss.... you can get that over the internet easy enough (though a whole little tray was only £5 there), but it's worth combining the visit for when you have more time as...

    Growing Mosses

    Just been to Living Waters in Croydon after a recomendation in another thread to someone else....... What a lovely place. Proper, what I'd call 'spit and saw dust'. No pretty framed tanks or tidy areas...... its just tanks and plants. What I thought was great was that they had some sort of...
