First, collect initial material for landing, examining stubs on break-throughs, but the moss which you will manage to find in the sun is considered especially beautiful. Take all beautiful small pillows of moss together with the soil that then they well were accepted after landing, at the same time try to choose moss of different structure and the size that it differed on shades.
2. Secondly, bring all collected material on the parcel, properly spread out it to earth surfaces, press down, and then water as mosses love enough moisture. Before landing this culture, you can arrange it on metal pallets, previously having poured a little water there, and already then start creation of original land relief of your site.
