Scape/ set up is a long way off so just thought I'd have a play with some bits of rock I found at work. I want this scape to be done from stuff I find in newzealands natural environment.

Looking good, really nice texture on the local rock and deep grey colours. Any plans for plants yet, or not thinking too far ahead?

Hi, sort of, mosses, ferns, and maybe some hydro which grows in the lawn here as a weed. Also using soil from our garden.

Well started digging some soil up from garden, rinsed roots out and then got caught baking it in the oven . It's not dissimilar from fancy stuff I paid good money for in the uk.
