Suitable For Moss/riccia Carpet?

[hensonc4098]

Found this mesh on eBay, wondered if you guys thought it'd be suitable for tying riccia or some sort of moss to?

I bought a measure of the above stuff which arrived the other day, and I have also ordered two lots of fissidens fontanus, which will hopefully arrive next week sometime So I'll let you know how it goes

I'd use Riccia as the holes are tiny and if you over lap it on top of moss it will prob die where as Riccia will grow through it.

I was prob just gonna tie moss on with fishing line or something similar so that it's flatter as well

Cool just dont lap the mesh back over the top of it and spread it evenly as best you can as it will grow so slowly it'll make you wanna give up lol, I done it once and a moss wall and it done my head in waiting for it to grow in.

Hahaha Patience will be the aim of the day!! I dunno really how much moss I'm going to need as it's quite a big area. I ordered 2 cups so far, no explaination on the site as to the volume of a cup so I thought I'd give that a go and see how much more after that, if any, that I need.
