What's the name of those buried Japanese rainwater garden chimes?

In Japan, there are chimes in some gardens that sound when raindrops fall on them. These chimes are buried in the soil so they can't be seen. Does anyone know what these are called?They're not the Kusari-doi Rainchains. Again, please keep in mind, the ones I'm looking for are buried in the soil and are invisible.P.S.: If you don't know the answer, don't respond just so you can raise your score. If you're not giving a serious, helpful answer, go pester someone else.

How much will it cost to make an indoor garden and indoor pond?

I want to make an indoor pond with a waterfall and some fish, i also want the garden to have bamboo and various bushes and unique trees so i can get the japanese style look. How much will it cost.

Answer: 1.
Well a huge part of your question is how much the matierals are that you want to use. Some plants can be really reasonable and others can be expensive. What kind of fish you use will also made a difference in your bottom line because like Koi fish are more expensive than Gold fish. And what about the rock you use in the design.

What I would do is make a list of all the materials down to the decorative rock, pond pumps and everything to maintain your pond. Go to a garden center and find out about the plants and how much they will run you and also find out if you have options for instance if you want a tree somewhere in the mix sometimes a smaller, younger tree than you eventually want may cost less than the tree the exact size you want.

I would think you could easily be out 10,000.00 or more but, you really won't know until you price everything out. And I would price everything out and then double it. Just because unexpected things happen and sometimes things simply end up costing more than you realise or you decide to go for a different plant or fish than you originally priced.

Hope that helps...Good luck and have fun with your renovation.

The biggest cost will be of curing the damp in the room if you install a waterfall and pond. Think this through carefully.

Indoor ponds are extremely difficult to install and keep healthy. There is not enough light indoors to grow the plants the pond needs nor enough to grow the bamboo and trees you wish. An indoor pond is the same as a large aquarium and needs the same care.
I have written an article on indoor ponds:

What does a green grub turn into?

Today I was digging around in my Michigan garden (the snow had just barely melted). I unearthed some green grubs. There were some white Japanese Beetle grubs as well. Compared to the white grubs, these other grubs were greenish-brownish and a bit bigger and fatter. Any hints as to what these turn into? Are they a pest?

Answer: 1.
A green June beetle perhaps.

I want to do a Japanese Garden this summer - anybody got any experience or suggetions?

I have about 100' by 125', hard clay soil (NOTHING grows), I had the uphill side of it terraced by a contractor this past fall.It has three terraces each about 6 - 7 feet wide and about 40 -60 feet long, each one 5 feet higher than the next. The rest of it is pretty flat (drops off steeply at the oppostie end). I'm thinking a pond at the foot of the terraces and a gazebo next to the pond. Has anybody done anything like this? Level of difficulty? Cost? Suggestions?

Answer: 1.
japanese love their bonsai trees and feature alot of rocks and raked gravel. azaleas and chrysanthemums are also much admired. you can probably do whatever you can afford to, try looking in some archetectural magazines for ideas.

First vegetable garden?

So I bought 12 Japaneses cucumber seedlings and need to know how far apart I need to plant them. I am a little bit short on space so I am willing to use stakes to keep them up. Also do they require full sun? And I live in San Diego California.Thanks everyone. All of your answers are very helpful and I can't decide on which is the best so I'll just put it up for voting.

Answer: 1.
You will need to space each mound at least 24 inches apart. Make a mound of dirt 8 inches high by about 12 inches around. Tamp the dirt down so that the top of the mound is flat. Plant 3 seedlings per mound. Cucumbers like full sun. They either like to run along the ground or you can let them run up a trellis. Good Luck with your first experience as a gardener!
Answer: 2.
WOW!...I hope you like cucumbers because your gunna have alot! They say you cant can the Japanese kind ( otherwise known as burpless, they dont make good pickles or anything like that) Anyways...you can plant them in hills about 2 feet apart...you can put more than one plant in a hill. They do require full sun. The Japanese kind stake up very well...you can also train them to grow up your chain link fence. In my experience cucumbers are one of those plants that grow best if started in the ground form seed, so keep this in mind. I also like to stagger the planting times to keep the cucumbers coming all season. Anyways!...have fun!
Answer: 3.
You should space them about 15 inches. However, if space is a probelm and you need more, 10 inches should work. Any garden has to be spaced properly to gain the maximum harvest on each plant. Sunlight is important as are roots not meeting eachother underground. Have fun with your garden. Most gardeners become vegan's during their harvest if the harvest comes out at it's zenith.
