    Tips

    December 1, 2020

    Cycling

    Water always finds a way! It sinks into the ground, it moves forward, it gnaws and it digs. When the rocks are too hard, the water turns away and seeks a softer passage. By its actions, water erodes rocks and dissolves minerals that it entrains in its anarchic movement. Enriched with gypsum and limestone, the water finds fresh air here. The limestone will precipitate and trap all kinds of elements (leaves, cones of conifers, dead branches, etc.)
