The best types
of rocks that you can use for a rockgarden:
-Tuff is a very good kind of stone for using in a rockgarden. It
can be used by plants who love calcareous ground and also for plants
who love sourishe ground. At first the color of tuff-stone is a
little bit yellow but soon turns into grey. With tuff-stone you
can make the rockgarden very naturally. You can also bore holes
into the tuff so you can plant the rockplants direct into the stones.
Buy not to soft tuff-stones because they fall easy apart.
- Lavastone is dark red and is good to use also in combination with
other kind of stones. Lavastone is a very light material so it's
very good to work with It's also very useful for the rockplants
because the material is so porous.
- Vulcanostone is also good to use in a rockgarden. The structure
of the stones is porous and often with little holes. The stone color
is yellow. It's a shame that not all plants like them.
- Moonrockstone has a beautiful structure with many holes. The holes
are easy to put plants in. It's a very expensive stone so you can
also combine them with cheaper kind of rockstones.
