To add on, top soil also very important.
After planting the grass, do spread some sand on top of it, especially those sink down area.

urb7, your vertical garden looks nice.
I think the yellow leave is due to insufficient sunlight for the 2nd pic.
As for 3rd pic, it seems normal to me.

Here's a pic of my small garden and pond from a couple of months back. The plant behind the pond has grown beautifully.

Selection of plants was proposed by a gardener after the first bunch i bought died because not compatible with the limited space in the planter boxes. It took some time to reach the desired effect... and am pretty much happy with the result. smile.gif

Yours is Japanese pearl grass? They are not easy to maintain.
Philippine grass is much easier.
Give more water to your grass now, i will suggest morning and evening of everyday. And give slightly more water to those grass area which already turn brown compare to those still green.

Maybe you can try use a higher grade concrete and put up a temporary shelter right on top of the pond.

I don't think glue can work as when cement mix with water it generate heat.

Haha. But also quit a heavy work ler.

Yes, I DIY myself for the wiring as well, thus always feel insecure going into the pond to do something.  LOL...

WOW.. RM100 for the RCD?  Will a simple fuse work?  When currest exceed certain amp, it will then break the fuse?

Don't water heater has some sort of RCD built in these days?  I am now trying to do DIY solar water heater.  Have done one successfully, but just being lazy to climb to the roof again.  Waiting to hire someone to do the risky work for me.

Solar heater also can DIY? notworthy.gif
Just installation of the heater huh?
