By the way. I have got this flexible bamboo around and it is great. But I'm not sure how long it is going go last. It started cracking in some places and I have to keep an eye on it. What I would like in the future are these kind of bricks which are about 20 cm high which holes to put a plant in. But unfortunately I don't know where to get them from. Best wishes |

They are called breeze blocks and are available from any builder yard they are cheap and make excellent perimeters for tortoise enclosures

Do the plants survive in the two three holes bricks? I have a few, so could use them for this. Just wondering as I have concrete pots that dry out so fast here, plants do last long.

Here it is: it has sempervivums (one has just flowered) and a sedum. They're not my best bricks, but they were by the back door and easy to take. To make the step thing you just put bricks behind those, and then bricks on top of that (so the back row is higher), and plant them up, and then make another row behind that that is even higher, with the holed brick on top, and plant that up, and you have a little set of steps all planted up.

Oops, I don't think that was clear -- my bonsai aren't in bricks, just the houseleeks and sedum are.
