  2. Thanks i know it does look a little crowded but thats my excuse to extend next year when things start to grow ;). I need more room for my wish list plants ! (Not even got a Cobra lily yet) It is in a sheltered spot but will move under cover etc over winter or due to weight put a polycarb enclosure around and over it.
  3. Hi I'm new to CPs and thought I'd show you the raised bog I've started. I'm still in the early days of CPs and still finding my feet. Most plants are only small at the moment and won't really settle in till next season. I'll list the Contents once I get home next week. All plants have come from little shop of horrors, Elvis on here, EBay and HC carnivorous plants. The barrel/container is an old water feature sump I've added a tap in the rear to drain water if needed (cant remember the name but copied off another member on here) Hope the pic works. Ill take some better ones next week.
  4. Firstly I'd like to thank you all for your help. With an even bigger thank you to Elvis for supplying me with several lovely Cp's all of which are now planted. :) I didnt end up going for the standard wooden barrel type, due to the ones I found being a bit small and semi broken. So instead opted for a water feature sump which is quite a bit bigger and deeper. To this I've copied one of the builds I've seen on here and fitted a tap to drain the water when needed. Pics will be added once the rest of my plants turn up and have settled in :) Next question I have is how and where do I put a grow list on here ? Do I just make a new thread anywhere in the forum then link it in my signature ? Cheers Kyle
  5. Heres the link http://m.diy.com/mt/www.diy.com/nav/decor/paint-woodcare/specialist-paints/spray_paint/Rust-Oleum-Stone-Pebble-400ml-11117664?skuId=11608370&tab=rev&un_jtt_redirect They do different colours etc
  6. Fair enough sounds like the reply I'd get ! "You what to put what, where ! Why !" "NO CHANCE ! " lol usually that applies to fish tanks etc....... I'm trying to butter her up so I can have a window planter with VFT's in (I've already bought a large plastic planter but plan on painting it with B&Qs rock looking paint so it might get her blessing lol) Hope you get back to work soon. Cheers Kyle
  7. Any more progress on this ? I'm intrigued. Nice looking Cps you have there.
  8. Thanks I've looked at that site but no idea how you order things :S Or how to contact Trev probably just me being thick
  9. Thanks Richard for that, a few things to mull over :) the bog barrel would be put in the shed with a window for winter or brought onto my decking which is protected undercover and doesn't get frost or snow if that makes a difference ? Hi Elvis glad to see someone's local to me :) Be interested to see your setup especially the bog barrel as I'm about to set one up. Might be a while before I'm at the trading stage lol Can I ask is there anywhere localist you buy your plants etc from or is it all online ? Cheers guys
  10. Mobile Thanks for that but I've checked all the UK dealers. But none seemed to have a big variety of VFT. Linuxman Ill keep a look out for alien then it's definitely on my wish list.
  11. Hi I'm new to CP and this forum. Loving the pics :) Where can I get Alien ? And any other good websitesbetc to get CPs from ? Cheers Kyle
  12. Thanks guys I've got (Hope I get this right) Sarracenia S. leucophylla S. flava var atropurpurea S. purpurae ssp venosa S. catesbaei (purpurae x flava) Drosera D. capensis D. burmannii evans Dionaea D. muscipula "Sawtooth" D. muscipula "South West Giant" So a few to start lol I plan on creating a small bog garden like I've seen on here are all these suitable ? Also the S. leucophylla came with the top section of the pitchers almost full of dry fly husks do I just leave as is ? Put some rain water in ? Or try and empty it ? Another question What Cp is better at catching mosquitoes ? Many thanks Kyle
  13. Hi all I'm new to CP apart from a VFT as a kid. I've recently purchased several plants to start my collection (not even received them all yet they should be delivered tomorrow).
