devon flighter 421 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Any one think it will be hard work keeping clear ? Or just make sure it gets alot of shade ? keep plenty of surface cover with plants and oxygenating plants to use up nitrogen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

low plains drifter 10,545 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yeah i did read that low plains can partially bury it in the ground as well so the wildlife has a "cool spot" in warms temps They are a good feature when dug into the ground and surrounded by sandstone, a small logpile nearby can help aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
