i thought grape was quite dense... at least when i chopped it down it seemed it
i think they set fire to heather, to renew it... i remember seeing a program on it on tv awhile back
well i read that grapevines aren't much good because they rot too quicki thought grape was quite dense... at least when i chopped it down it seemed it
I think i just will do that Kevin although I'm not keen of dead bodies or body parts but at least if I find some wood i can use the shopping trolley to push it home.ight be able to find boggy areas on google earth

Hi, vine wood bought in aquarium/Vivarium shops is IMO unsuitable for long term aquarium use as it is a softwood and does rot quickly (10 months ish) I used it in Dragons Crypt journal and it went soft and mouldy at the end.they might well do, i was just adding in on what i though i read awhile back on them... and when cutting one down it seemed hard but i might be wrong
Looks like this when dead if you can find a good place to collect it -

i dont know if its okay to plonk it in... but i did... i was lazy and dident want to wait... turned out fine, it was waited down with slate burryed under the and thoughSo fruit wood - pear, apple etc...is ok to just plonk in a tank freshly cut from a tree?
Looking at the comments here I think there is a need for a thread in the tutorials or wherever applicable for a heading "aquarium safe local wood". Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge about the various indigenous species to start it. Think it'll be a fantastic resource for all to reference and also a place to post the scapes done using these woods. On a funny note, there I headed up to one of our natural parks here in the north on a heather hunt only to be told by the ranger that all the heather & I mean a fair few tonnes of it is being dug back into the ground to replenish the peat fields. What a kick in the nuts that was, all I wanted was a few twigs. Darn it. Can't complain too much though as they are undertaking conservation, one of my loves in life. It all about what we can give back to the planet...
