Moss Wall Mesh.

[etbarry]

What mesh do you use? Ive seen alot of options but the one I liked most was gutter mesh, the plastic of course, but I would like larger one pieces like 11x8 or so. Any recommondations? Looking for black plastic. Thanks.

I used craft canvas but that's sold only in white I believe.

A lot of folks use the stiff plastic mesh found in craft stores and it can be found in a variety of colors including brown, black, and green.

I was looking at that but I feel like the holes are real small.

I think some of the power sellers and folks in the swap shop have some.

If you have a Wal-Mart nearby they sell these too, in black

The mesh at craft store is called "Plastic canvas" for needle point hobbies..

This isn't a wall per se, but this is the plastic canvas from a craft store. It did work out pretty well for me, it's a "shrimp log".


First is how it looked when started, then as a partial grow out.
Sorry for the crappy pics, I'm still working on the macro settings on my crappy camera.

How long did it take to get like that?

I just bought a very similar thing at home depot in the "gutter" section. It's used as a gutter guard against leaves and debris...

i use the plastic canvas as the back of the wall and took a bath scrubbie thing appart and stretched that over it to hold down the moss. seems to work well

I checked the dates that I took the pics and it looks like that is 2 months worth of growth in a 20L with 2 t8 bulbs and no ferts. Your result may vary depending on lighting and fert dosing.

If you are looking for a larger amount, you could try bird netting (for protecting fruit trees) or plastic hardware cloth. It might be hard to find in less than .5" mesh though. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Dalen-PN10-7-F...ef=pd_sbs_ol_4
You could probably find it at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Thats like a soft mesh I'm pretty sure, I know what your saying about hardware cloth 1/2" is prob the smallest. Was hoping to find like 1/4" grid. I would love to find "5 count" plastic canvas in black but it appears it only comes in clear (5 count is 5 squares per inch) all the colors are 7 count which ill probly end up with.
