[NepNut]

Hi Arvin,
Thanks. I totally agree with your view, it's still the best to learn from mother nature. That's why I've attached pics showing exposed soil in the natural habitat, just check my wild nep thread and you'll see it.

Regarding the soil where the D. burmanii were found, it consist of very fine powderly sand with traces of organic matter (peat like sustance, dried leaves and twigs.) The surface of the sand may look quite dry because of the dry spell, but 1-2 cm under the surface is still moist. Hope this help.
