Hello all,
Was wondering how to make the best soil for my black water crypts like C. cordata.
I used to think, just take some Magnolia and Oak leaves and throw them in some clay mix for aquatic, add water and watch.
But now I am thinking, should I have composted the leaves? Is beech really that important to the mix that I can't get away with just using Magnolia and Oak?
What if I use Almond leaves?
If I should compost, how can I do that on a small scale, indoors?
Thanks.
