2024.02.23 | A low-lying branch of a young oak (Quercus petraea) exhibiting marcescence was buried with a layer of soil some 10-15 cm deep. A thin layer of gravel was
deposited on the ground, followed by a thin layer of clay. Then the branch has been bent and fixed with a brick to the deposit. To that, a couple of leaves in the same state of decay (but not
attached to the branch) were added. A thick layer of wet clay with significant amount of humus and living earthworms has been added on top to cover the leaves. On top of that, a layer of drier
crumbly clay was added. |
