Cheap places to buy plants/driftwood?

[CuriousFins]

Are there any cheap and reliable online places to get plants and driftwood/decor? Driftwood is pricey.

Go to a local river and collect some hardwood from the banks! Make sure it is thoroughly dry and has no bark left on it

I don't recommend it unless you get permission

Oh yes of course! Make sure it's legal first!! Totally forgot to mention that

The good news is that getting permission is usually easy enough. Contact the superintendent of the state park or whatever and just ask if you can pick up a few pieces of dead wood. Make sure you get the person's name, so that if anybody hassles you, you can say, "I got permission from [insert name of bossly person]." No big deal. I've never had anyone tell me no. For that matter, I've never had anybody hassle me about it. Just act like you know what you're doing. That's the key. To many things. Not just collecting driftwood.

Driftwood from the beach, we are allowed to collect it as it is part of " The Queens Chain". Commonwealth stuff. Anyhow never go for cheap plants, expensive plants will always be better and will do better in your tank. "Cheap is Cheap"
