I have started my experiment with the rock wool substrate. My plan is to use it for a wall or fence hanging. I just started the project today. Below are the photos.
------Packaged 36" x 8" x 3". -----------------Cut open exposing the rock wool. ------------Sturdy nursery tray.
--------Cut to fit tray------------------------------Starting to place plants and cuttings-----------Long ways to go.
Now I will start taking cuttings from some of my very low growing sedum in different colors and textures. I will also plant a variety of sempervivum in it.
I am also experimenting to see if things will grow if I just lay them on the top of the substrate, like I did the sedum showing above. I will do both ways to see
what happens.
I should be able to finish it tomorrow, then I will place it outside in the elements and let nature take care of it. I will lay it flat on an outdoor table. Sure hope this works.
I do have some questions in my mind now that I started planting it. I think I will take the plants out and place a cut to fit piece of hardware cloth over the top. That would keep the substrate in place once it is placed on a wall or fence. A sturdy frame will be made to hold the tray once it is ready to be hung.
