HI Carl
whick kind of rock planting ?

either you can use the *dusts* of akadama if you use
akadama and keep them or take a lump of dried out clay
bake to sterilize in the oven and than hammer to powder or
scrape it .. thna you have to mix it equal parts with peat
and you get a sort of yellowish sticky paste . you use it
to fix the roots on the stone cover it again with same
pongo .. if is a proeminent rock you can fasten it with an
old nylon sock ,it will allow water to pass trought and
roots not to, so will spred on the rock ( just done few
months ago on a maple , ) than bury it all waithing at
least one eyer for roots to grow long and deep under the stone
will take generally 2-3 years ,
anyway exists differents procedures according teh sort
of rock plantation you want to make
i.e.: apparents roots on rock ,landscape, slab
