In the previous episode we were left with me waiting for shipment of some Terra-Lite. Well, it arrived as did the cork tube that would serve as the waterfall.

So, I put down the Terra-Lite and on top of that, a layer of vinyl screen material to keep (hopefully) dirt and other stuff from working its way down into the water supply. On top of the screen, I put the substrate, which is a mixture of about 2/3 potting soil and 1/3 peat moss. This picture shows the substrate and is also a good view of the working waterfall.

After that, all I had to do was put some plants in the ground. You can see pictures of some of the plants here. I actually only used about half of what I bought because after I got home and did some research, I found that the palms and ferns are likely to get HUGE. I opted to go light for now and give them room to grow.

So, with that, I’m just going to let it grow for a while and we’ll see how it looks in a few weeks/months.
