This is what I did today,







Its fed rain water by two down pipes.
It has an over flow.

My main interest is Utrics, which over time I will plant this up with. For now I got a tray of mixed CP to see how it works.

If any one has any grass/weed plants or seeds from terrestrial Utric areas I would be very great full!

Thanks,

Chris

Wow, thats impressive. I like the design. Let us know how the plants like it.

My hope is that the little riverlets of sand will let the water move more easily through while the Peat/sand mix will be a little slower. This I hope will satisfy different CP.

Lets see!

That's interesting and looks effective, is the rainwater fed from your gutter? if so do you have any way of slowing the flow so as you dont get flooded or the plants washed away before the overflow can empty the trough. If like us you have just had rain of more than biblical proportions, your conservatory may be a little damp now, I know my house is.

Bust of luck and let us know how it develops.
