The upper pool is 4 1/2,
5-foot deep,

you get to the lower pool,
that pool is about 10 foot deep,

like deep ocean water,

They're difficult to use.
They're porous.
165
00:06:44,004 --> 00:06:46,371
They let water through them,
so we had to figure out
166
00:06:46,473 --> 00:06:48,039
a way to incorporate those
in there.

Tim: It's limestone

Out in nature, they collect dirt
and then which flowers will hit,
