I will be getting two packages this week with a variety of single stems, strands, ect. of a variety of plants. Java moss, hornwort, wisteria, flame moss, willow hygro, bacopa carolina, gisnt willow moss, and 4 dwarf sags. I have a question on the rooted ones. I will be getting a chunk of dried red clay from a pottery maker. I am making little pots from bottoms of water bottles as I don't want to stir up my gravel to put clay down underneath. I'm going to crush the clay and mix it with something to put in bottom of my little pots before adding plant roots and then gravel. I'm very low tech, not doing co2 or fertilizers. My question is what can I mix the clay with? I don't want to use top soil or any kind of dirt. Should I just mix it with some gravel? Or mix it with some peat moss? I have an area outside that used to have a pool. If I scooped up some leftover sand, boiled it to clean it, would that mix well for my plants? What about some ground up charcoal? I want to do what will help the most without getting into chemicals or fertilizers and I don't want to deal with dirt. Any advice?
