yes a regular garden soil mixed a bit with crushed root tabs. i made a mud back then but got lazy adding water everyday and the soil hardened. it's fine though as those HC has already rooted.
Wow nice stuff! I am thinking about getting a couple soup containers and trying to grow some as well, but its still winter over here so I might have to wait a while before doing it.
You could also use potting soil, but just enrich it yourself with NPK+T. All the dry ferts we use for aquariums are intended to enrich potting soil, so it should be a breeze. Just be careful, because you can burn a plant with ferts.
i dont think the anubias will grow as well dug in like that...i think they can grow find emmersed if you just put them in a dish with a low level of water...
Did you use a screen over the HC? I grew HC indoors over the winter emersed, I would like to do it outside this summer (no bill for lighting )
