Lots of cavities with gabions and glass foam
This garden also has many cavities, even at the micro level. The wooden frame made of Amsterdams Grachtenhout forms the basis. There are 4 gabions for aquatic plants around the edges. These can be made with untreated steel because they are completely underwater. Fish can also hide here from predators. Because light transmission is crucial and the water is often cloudy, the soil has been raised. A bed of hemp cloth, pond soil, lime and shells (and sometimes some peach seeds and lava chunks) has been applied to it.
The AQF Eco-Floatland® was created by Nautilus and contains glass foam chunks, a lightweight, porous material made from recycled glass. This glass foam has been optimized to stay afloat longer.
Surrounded by mesh panels, a fine-mesh mesh, coconut fabric, and cork edges. Aqua-Flora plants have been placed in the steel recesses, with their roots between the glass foam. Between these foam chunks, there are cavities for plant roots and organisms (such as bacteria, fungi and algae) that live around these roots and contribute to water quality.
