pond

A while back, before I had gotten my Aldrovanda, Blokeman decided to PM me some very helpful tips (Thanks again, Steven!). Bloke compiled up the info from his own experiences, local CPers and Barry Rice's very informative Growing Carnivorous Plants. Here's his PM: "Hey Clue, I've tried growing...

Well, maybe not only help from Cindy, but she will know what I'm talking about the most. A few months ago I started a thread discussing the best way to grow N. Northiana. Cindy had mentioned the burnt earth she can get on the other side of the world, and people further suggested Schultz...

Well since I let the cat outta the bag on the spray foam thread about my upcoming project I will show you the new material I'm going to build my double stack Highland vivarium and greenhouse terrarium out of. This is called AZEK PVC Trimboard, which is a waterproof "wood" made from PVC...

I couldn't get any pics 'cause the camera was acting odd. It's a well lit pond in my terra, decent sized, not too warm, not too cold. I don't know where to get one, but I'll see to that later. Is this a good spot for a gibba? Thanx! Chomp

Now here's a great looking plan! This dude on the frog board has been using some wood from Lowes called PVC Trim Board which is boards made entirely from PVC plastic. Then he seals the interior seams with with silicone and then installs a pond liner for sealing the bottom. He even puts a drain...

I have a beautiful Sarracenia Scarlett belle growing a small bog garden I made out of a pond insert in my backyard in Kentucky. It has been pretty mild here so far and it looks great with ths some flytraps growing with it. I read that it has a semi-dormancy period. I have been planning to...

Hey guys I've found this on another forum and was wondering if any of you DIYers have used it? http://www.pondshield.com/index.htm It says non-toxic & non-hazmat, so... can it be used in-situ to seal an indoor wooden terrarium project without killing the houses occupants? People online are...

I got my first mud-loving utrics today that I call (lovingly) "pond scum": tricolor, praelonga, tridentata and sandersonii all growing in basically dixie cups with drainage holes. I've had alpina and longifolia in the past which I grew like orchids/neps but I'm wondering for these types do I...

I went to a chain hardware store to get a pond liner. They were alot more $ than I had expected. They did have the preformed plastic ponds 1/2 off. I got a 50 gallon one. I got 4 50# washed playground sand and 2 large bales of peat to fill it up with. It has 2 levels each about 9 inches...

Yesterday, I stopped by a local nursery to get some reeds for an Aldrovanda tank. As I passed through the aisles, on my way to the pond area, I stopped and heard a familiar cry: "Mommy, can I have a flytrap? Please?" And of course, "No, honey, you'd kill it." And he probably would. I picked up a...

I was expanding the pond in the terra today, and I found that almost all of the duckweed had died out. The other plant in the pond (It has A name that I can never remember, but it lives just like duckweed) was starting to turn blackish, and some of it had sunk to the bottom of the pond. I...

So, I'm looking at this DIY guide on building a concrete aquarium backdrop. I'm trying to find a building method for constructing the underlying landscape for my indoor water garden project, first mentioned here, also here. What I'm hoping is that I could use the above method, but with something...

Thought some of you might enjoy pictures from the backpacking trip I did last week. I usually do several dozen hikes and backpacking trips per year, but I had wanted to do this one for some time. My buddy (and his dog) and I covered 33 miles over 3.5 days. We went to the Red Castle area of...

Now that I have your attention :D I am going to be going full out, and making a setup that will put my current terras to shame. If you've seen Titom's or Labine's setup, I'd like it to look a lot like that, basic, yet effective. So I hope to make a very basic frame out of 2x4's, I have some...

I found some wild Drosera today and yesterday. I saw U. purpurea and U. gibba too both still in flower. I believe me and my brothers will be camping by this pond next week. I know one species is D. intermedia, if you know what the small red one is please tell me. Also if you see another species...

Hey TF, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but it seems good. I just wanted to share some pics of my small pond in my backyard. here they are: Thanks for veiwing!

This year’s Pine Barrens trip, like all the other years was a great success. It was fun meeting up with other growers I have not seen in some time. The weather was perfect during the days. There was a major thunder storm that hit Saturday night directly overhead the camping area and most likely...
