Re: My winter project

Re: My winter project
That's looking really great!! Can't wait to see it all finished with the last details. Are you going to cover the shelves etc with some sort of fabric or just leave them like that?

Re: My winter project
the back and ledges will be covered with foam then sprayed with adhesive and then covered in a mix of substrate to give it a natural look and also give a rooting surface for ivy. The floor will have different layers and mixes of substrate to help suport plants moss and springtails. I am kinda boozed atm so I can't go into to much detail atm on the specific mixes of substrate. I believe orchid bark, sphagnum moss, charcoal, and coconut husk are among them..

Re: My winter project
Looks like a fun project. I wouldn't worry to much about practicing with the foam. The best thing about the foam is as long as you cover the entire piece you can then just carve it with a knife to make it look how you want. No need to try and make shapes and what not with the foam.

Re: My winter project
.That really looks great! Where did you get the plastic you used for framing? What is it calked, and do you know what size sheets are available? Is it obvious I'm stealing the idea? Or, can I just ask permission? Then it's not stealing. :laughing:
