Miniature moss garden - zen garden (self-watering)

- Here is another table top miniature moss garden design set up with a wick so that the moss always stays watered.
I have wanted to make a sort of “island“ design for quite some time. I considered using actual water and having the wick pull from that but realized it would evaporate much too quickly. So I decided to go with the zen style pebble garden to represent the water.
I feel like the pebbles I chose are a bit too large and throw off the scale a bit but they were the best I could get from a river close to me. I think I might change to sand from the river but I will have to go collect it. I had the pebbles from another project.
The piece of wood, if you are interested, is from a dead Rose Mary bush that we found while on a hike in the mountains in Spain. My wife uses a lot of natural material in her art as well and so we are both alway looking out for interesting things in nature. (Check her out @irene_bittner )
The wicks are made from felt strips and the box is made from pine. If you have any questions just ask. 🙂

Stunning, I too make miniature moss gardens, so when I'm walking my dog my eyes are always open for anything I can use to make beautiful little gardens. But, I am not at this level....yet!!!
If your having fun that’s all that matters. 🙂 I too am on the constant lookout for tiny hidden “worlds“. Thanks for the kind compliment.. glad you like the video. All the best!
You make great clips ❤
i dont know whether you still active or not but i wanna say thank you so much for this awesome moss trays diy video 🥰 the place, the person, the personality, the voice, the techniques and the moss giving so much peaceful and aesthetic vibe
Wow! Such a nice comment… thank you so much. 🙂 I am still around for sure just have not been at home all winter. Planning to make more videos soon.. and with such a motivating comment it makes me even more eager to start. Thanks 🙏
B-U-Tea-Ful yes Great nature art🌅

Lovely and so calming to watch you.
Happy to hear you enjoyed. 🙂
Great
I want 5 of these
Да ,это интересно !
Lindo demais parabens pelo trabalho artístico. Grande abraço Brasil
Muito obrigado que bom que gostou.. obrigado por assistir!
😮 this content inspires me to make this art, this channel will be trend soon, congrats 🎉
Thanks a lot. If it has inspired you to be creative then I am most happy! Make something beautiful and show others what you did.. help keep it going. 🙂 Thanks again!
I love it. I think I'll try it but maybe add a mini orchid to give a little more color ❤
I like this idea!
👍🏼
대단하십니다.
좋은 아이디어입니다.
이끼가 물을 별도로 주지 않아도 잘 살아있나요?
매우 감사합니다! 이 디자인을 사용하면 이끼에 위에서 물을 줄 필요가 없습니다. 자동 급수 디자인을 사용하고 싶지 않은 경우 상단에서 물을 줄 수 있습니다. 이끼가 살아 있으니 물을 주어야 합니다.
This is absolutely gorgeous! ❤ What came into my mind, while watching: Do you have any issues with fungus or rotting, as your beautiful trays are made of wood? Thanks for sharing 🙏 Cheers, Martina 🙋♀️
Thanks so much Martina! Nice to see you back again. The first ever box I made I left the wood unfinished and on the underside of the box and under the rock structure I did get molding.
The next one I did I put a thin layer of silicone on the bottom of the rock structure to stop that as well as siliconed the hole passing through the box because the wick was touching the hole. This worked better but still not perfect.
This time, because of the design, I decide to paint everything including the inside of the box. I would guess the wood will no longer get wet but I am not sure about eventual mold development. If anything it should be much easier to clean with this design.
Hope that answers your question. Thanks again!
@@MujoNatureArt Thank you so much for your detailed answer. Have a great day
This is neat and definetely inspiring, great job! The view at the beginning and the garden are just stunning! Where do you live?
Anyways, new subcriber here!
Thanks so much glad you like the video. 🙂 I am lucky to live in Switzerland right at the beginning of the alps. The garden in the background is a garden I have been working on for a few years. Thanks again for the kind comment.
Ciao bellooo... Forza che da oggi ai un nuovo iscritto. 🙋♂️
Thanks! Glad you like the videos. 🙂
Great work, very nice!😁👍 … what‘s the soil mixture you use, made off?
Thanks m8! 🤗
Thanks so much! The soil is really nothing special. I use soil from a field behind my house. I clean it by passing it through a screen to remove any small stones and organic material, but that is all I do. Just normal filtered soil. Hope that helps! 🙂
@@MujoNatureArt Perfect, thanks much!👍
Love it! Wonderful idea.
p.s. I was going to ask what type of wood it was. I thought maybe old grape vine.
Thanks so much! The wood is from a dead huge Rose Mary bush my wife and I found on a hike in Spain.
@@MujoNatureArt How did you make the rock structure?
@@SpecialSP I failed to show that part. I had made the formation a few months earlier when I had some extra cement mixed for another project. All I did was selected some small rocks that I wanted to use and then put them together with cement.
Cement with a bit of sand and rocks stuck in it. Very easy. Then just make a hole in the cement before it dries completely wherever you want a wick.
@@MujoNatureArt Thank you. I thought that it looked like hypertufa, but I wasn't sure.
I REALLY need my own place!
@@SpecialSP Your welcome. Interesting you mention hypertua. I just got all the materials together to start experimenting with making it and using it for projects. 🙂
Mantap

Thanks… happy you like!
is this string enouth to keep the moisture in level?
This is a strip of felt being used for the wick. It has been working very well to keep the moss alive without needing to be top-watered.
Nice idea 😊 But the wood for the basic will not be resistent against the water...maby a peace of hose could help...
You are very right. I think the piece of hose is a great idea.
Tell me, did you make the main "rock" out of stones and cement?
Nice to see you again. 🙂 Yes I did make it from stones and cement. I didn’t show that process because I created the main “rock” one day when I had some extra cement mixed from another project.
@@MujoNatureArt Thank you! Your works inspire me to be creative))
What is in the black mixture ?
It is just soil from the forest. Nothing special
Let's make a good journey from Today 😊.Your new family member
Welcome… and thank you. Hope to be able to share more soon. 🙂
I miss seeing you …
Aww thanks. I actually have a few videos in the works right now. Some new things and updates from this seasons projects. I will be posting again soon. Thanks for the encouragement!
@@MujoNatureArt I look forward to this;
