I want to make a moss wall - could any advise on the quantity of moss required to cover an area of 50 x 30cm and what is the best moss for a wall.
As for the mesh I was considering whether this would be ok to use.

Java moss :) is about the fastest you can find. There is a Dutch company, making Epaqmat, specialy developed textile mat to grow plants on.

They also provide them with grown plants to them.. We have aquarium plant shops selling it, no idea if there are UK retailers of this stuff. Maybe you could contact above and ask, i know they have it.. Maybe they ship to UK.

Here is a Dutch webshop selling Java moss on mesh 15x11 cm at a price of € 5.95

8 to 10 mats could do, come with sucker cups included.. Still not cheap € 60 max but that's covered all at day one.. :) Since you are asking quantity, obviously you want it covered all at day one. they also sell plaques of 23x18 cm java moss € 8.45 each. You need to put on a mesh yourself than you are done with about 3 mats + shipping. that's a bit cheaper.

I have no idea what the cost and quantity needed in little portions like those invitro pots.. But what i see around for UK prices.. :eek: They always scare me a bit.

These calculation you need to do yourself..
