This week I am scouting for materials for a new Rock planting that will be my major project for these upcoming holidays. I have my eye on a very nice piece(s) of Ibigawa rock that is a nice deep shade that I feel would suit either pines or junipers. I have been looking around my local nursery and have chosen out several pieces ranging from about 30-50cm high. They all would be suited as they have nooks and cracks for roots and various plants, as well as flat sections for trees.

I have also picked out the Suiban tray I will use to house the design as well as a few plants as sort of accent plants that will give the design some more flair and character.

All up I can see this costing me... You know what, I have no idea how much it will. The tree's will cost about $9.00 each (Australian), as they will be partly trained nursery stock. The accent plants no more than $5-$10 each, and I will have 2 or 3 of them. The rock... Imported Ibigawa, I forget, but it will probably cost the most. So my materials:

3 Junipers/Pines: $27
2 Accent plants: $10 (hopefully)
1 Rock - about 40cm in height: No idea
Peat/clay mix: Under $10
Wire: Already have
Moss: Can get any time from the creek
Suiban Tray: Out of several that I have picked, they range.

Well all up it should HOPEFULLY come in under about $100, but I can see the tray breaking my nads, but I have the day off school tomorrow, so I will go scouting and report back to you all then!

Update yaz tomorrow.

Drew.
