The first went well, the second still needs sealing. 🙂

The little rain showers we got last night perked up the moss on the rocks, and also on the ground. I wanted more moss on the rocks, so I used a plastic putty knife to lift some from the ground. I placed it, wet it and pressed it down against the rocks. I’d read about buttermilk and moss in a blender, but a moss guy said it’s bullshit, and just makes a mouldy, stinky mess. No thanks. Moss grows in that area naturally, so hopefully it’ll get the hint that I want it to grow on the rocks.

Moss Dude said just harvest it, don’t let it dry out, press it firmly in place, and keep it moist. Moss has been around a few years; it knows what to do. I have to go back to work on Tuesday, but I’ll do my best to keep it damp.

I couldn’t wait any longer to test the waterfall, so I cut a piece off an old garden hose and attached it to the waterfall hose, then ran the garden hose over. I have more sealing to do, that’s for sure, but if the pump has enough power, I think it’s going to work pretty well. If I were a bird, I’d want to bathe here. Given the leaves I’ll have to scoop out of this thing because I put it under trees where wet birds would feel safer and would have perches nearby to dry off and preen, I certainly hope they’ll like it!
