Nests and mangroves from waste streams
Do you want to create a floating garden without buying anything? That's possible. Make sure you use non-toxic pallets and an organic Christmas tree without pesticides, most Christmas trees are toxic.
The floating frame is made of second-hand softwood from the Amsterdam quay construction. It contains four tubs made of two half pallets. Truncated Christmas tree trunks provide structure under and in these tubs. The Leftover Garden was the last to be completed and fiber cloth and substrate that were still left were used. Marsh plants float on cork cylinders (from the boreholes).
A number of plants were adopted after the autumn fireplace: the rhizomes of reeds and cattails are on the shore after clearing a ditch and would otherwise die.
And who knows, the resulting pools may be discovered as microhabitats by reptiles and amphibians. There are plenty of side openings and climbing opportunities to get in here.
