David, your Dutch is getting better every day
It is very enjoyable watching this tufa mound growing! In Duncan Lowe's book on 'Raised Beds, Troughs and Tufa' there is a super drawing of a large free standing tufa block in his inimitable style. I've never seen anything like it in the flesh except in Alan Furness's amazing garden on the way home from the Edinburgh 2001 Conference. Silly to ask on the SRGC Forum but is anyone down in the South-East thinking of getting a truckload of tufa? If we can find a good source I would certainly be interested.
I'm quite happy with how Eritrichium nanum has established itself in its vertical hole since it was planted.Picture 1 was taken in early April, just after planting and Picture 2 on June 6th.New growth is clearly visible - I keep my fingers crossed...
