This is an experiment in growing moss. I did a version before this attempt in which the buttermilk and moss slurry was applied to styrofoam, a shoe, and an old shirt and let to sit out in my kitchen; the result was a crusty dried-up failure. With the new attempt I made building blocks of bass wood each with a drilled hole and hung these (covered with moss slurry) inside a discarded veg. oil container. Maybe this will keep the humidity up. I would like to see each block with a robust moss covering which i can then combine into a larger study model. I will keep you posted
This is the layout of the hedge 6'x40' using 1" square tubing. I discovered late in the process that i had pulled the dimensions using Rhino incorrectly so the form will be slightly different than the planned form. I could still "fix" the problem but i have decided to use the screw up and will redraw the plans accordingly and post later.
great post chris! i love the experiments! moss is slow to establish itself, but will regenerate quickly in the right conditions.
