“The best cook is mother earth” – NatureSoil by Oliver Knott

Nothing is more powerful and pure like the elements from our nature. Since thousands of years the nature has developed the best “product” for their nature “customer”, like plants and animals. In our case we have a prefect soil as basis in which are growing many kind of different plants without any “artificial nutrients”. This gift from our mother earth was the foundation of the NatureSoil product.

From where it comes:
The mother earth for the NatureSoil comes from Kyushu Island in the Southern part of Japan. The vulcan basis is the reason that around this island grows a plenty of different plant sorts.

UKAPS workshop Vivarium 2010

If you trace Iwagumi layouts to their origin, you will find a layout that Takashi Amano created approximately 30 years ago. It was a simple layout created by arranging river rocks and planting solely with Echinodorus tenellus. According to Takashi Amano, while some people did not seem to be surprised very much by the layouts that he had created through trials and errors up to that point, when they saw this Iwagumi layout, they seemed truly amazed by its unique and unusual beauty. Iwagumi layout style did not exist back then, and no one, including Mr. Mitsuo Yamazaki, the importer of E. tenellus, had any detailed information on the plant. It was truly an original creation by Amano that no one had seen before.
