In this monthly column I will document the creation and development of a specific type of planted aquascape from the design to full maturity over a period of several months, much in the same type of format as a tank journal that people keep here.

Along with the column, I will have a blog on the TFH web site that will be updated at least weekly if not more often. The blog will be intergrated with the print column giving readers the opportunity to post comments, questions, and share their own related experiences, to the blog which in turn may be printed in the magazine. In addition, I will bring in experts whose area of expertise relates to various aspects of the project and have their insight published in the piece as well.

This will be me rolling up my sleeves and attempting something that is bound to have some issues. Every mistake I make, every problem I encounter will be public for all to see and learn from. It will be a new experience for me that I will be sharing in as close to real time as you can get. I might even shoot some videos for the blog.

So including my new column, TFH now has FOUR columns/features relating to plants! That is unheard of! We are taking over the magazine!

Congrats, I look forward to reading them.
