I need some suggestions/tips for the following scenario:
I plan on having a well drained false bottom eggcrate set up. On top of the eggrate will be a layer of gravel to shape out most of the landscape.
Now a few questions:
1. I plan on using a lot of tropical pillow type moss for ground cover but would also like to be able to plant some terrestrial plants. Should I have a small layer of substrate (like spagnum moss maybe or 1/2 spagnum 1/2 orchid bark) under the moss areas?
2. In the spots where I am going to be planting terrestrial stuff....should I not put moss there? Or can I just cut a little hole in the moss to plant in with a substrate layer under it?
I guess I just need some tips on using moss and plants together.
Thanks so much for the help
