Hello and welcome to On the Ledge podcast. I'm Jane Perrone and this is the show where we get very, very dirty,

but only in the sense of our hands being covered in compost.

Well, we're back for more from James Wong's flat, his house plant experiments part two, including the legendary nanopond.

Thanks to everyone who tweeted, retweeted, contacted me, said how much they loved last week's episode. It was so much fun, wasn't it?

And the delightful thing is we've got another 25 minutes of chat with James

and Rob to come today. I'm going to split that into two chunks with a little bit in the middle

for a Q&A, so that way we can spread the joy. As I said last week, Rob Stackovitz is the Robb that I

mentioned there. He is a very, very clever man and a horticulturist

based in London. So do look him up. And that's why you should be having a look at the show notes,

because that's where you'll find all the links and information that go with our chat. So if you want to

know how to actually find a biophyter or a pygmy water lily,

then the show notes are the place to go at janeperone.com.

So let's dive back into James Wong's flat

and find out a bit more about some of his other house plant experiments,

including the legendary fruit bowl nanopond. Here we go.

There's more. That's not it. That's not everything.

This is a tank that I bought and then while I was washing it stupidly bashed into the wall

and you can't hold water entirely so i have a little um

created the terrarium out of it so there is a little water feature that has um a pump on at the

back that is keeping that whole wall moist you need to clear out some of the plants so you can actually

see i've just spotted the dinosaur in there. I haven't noticed that.

You've got a raptor going on in there.
