Hello Dendroboardians,
I saw this technique in one of Troy Goldberg's videos: he used a filter mat instead of substrate in one of his paludarium builds. He described it as a common European technique. I found it looked great, but it's more on the uncommon side for building a paludarium, I think. Sadly he didn't post an update until now. Does anybody have experiences with this method? I'm thinking that this might be a perfect setup for growing moss and having a clean water feature.
I was thinking maybe to replicate this, using a filter mat instead of substrate in my next setup. But I think I might add some areas where I will stack and carve some mat pieces so that I have some kind of 'flower pot' that I can fill with some substrate for terrestrials like jewel orchids.
I'd be glad if there where any experiences with similar setups or thoughts and ideas on this.
