I am thinking about trying a Wabi-kusa set up. Here is a good video of Takashi Amano doing one. What do you people think?

I love wabi-kusa because it's a very verstile concept, it can be done on any scale as long as you have an island of plants that is surrounded by water and the plants grow immersed & emmersed. This is something I'd love to try in a shallow glass dish, and with the right decorative sand, or in my backyard in the summer.

Very nice!
Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much all those plants
would cost here in Canada?

A few weeks ago this is what I'd decided on as my next project, interesting wabi-kusa is just now coming up in the threads.

Ditto that, wouldn't that be nice if we all had our own bunch of extra
hands when we were planting our tanks.
