I am thinking of including a salt marsh into my layout. Any suggestions?
We are in the early stages of modeling a saltwater marsh in Sausalito (San Francisco Bay). The first thing was to use Google satellite to zoom in on the color. The mud/water at low tide appear to be a mucky blue/gray in color. The plan is to paint the bottom with acrylics, pour some tinted Envirotex light, followed with tinted gel medium. Keep us up to date. We are holding on the pour until the mockup colors work.
Quick question. How do you plan to avoid the wickup problem with the envirotex if you've planted the cordgrass salt grass?
I have a wild idea of how to but I'd like to "hear" your solution first.
Cheers

Good question. Perhaps gel medium brushed against the grasses to create a "dam" before the envirotex pour. Previous envirotex creek pours didn't have grasses and wicking really wasn't bad. What are you thinking to eliminate the wicking idea?
