A Beautiful and Thriving Ecosystem! │ Woodland Pond Ecosphere - 6 Month Update

[@Jartopia]

I was originally going to thank everyone for 1000 subscribers when I uploaded this weeks video. Before I could make a video I then hit 2000 subs, which is insane! I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all my subscribers for supporting my channel, liking my videos and subscribing. I love creating content for you guys and it brings me a lot of happiness knowing people appreciate the work I put into my videos. Anyway I hope you enjoyed the video above. There is much more content coming in the future. You guys are awesome!

[@boogiecamel587]

I'm just going to say it! You don't deserve the subscribers you have. There are better content creators out there who have been doing this longer than you. You are just lucky. Nothing more.

@@boogiecamel587 And whats your problem?

[@jameshoffman942]

@@boogiecamel587 I'm sorry your having a bad day. People can sub to whoever they want. Jartopia is a genuine content creator. instead of trying to pull them down, you could have just listed some other channels people who like jartopia would be into. it would be a better way to reach people, and support those other channels in a nice way. Then it would be a win-win. But, its your opinion. I'm not gonna try to change it. Nice name and pfp btw. Have a nice day anyone reading this comment =)

[@thesciencelair9556]

I agree with Firefox. Boogie Camel, what’s your problem? People can make good content even if someone else does too. This channel is amazing, I had to read it again when I saw “you don’t deserve the subscribers that you have”. It’s ok if you don’t like the video, but you don’t have to publicly insult the creator.

[@MechaDialga]

I only just found this channel a few hours ago and I love this, animals and habitats in which they live in are so interesting to me, this has honestly made me want to go and get some jars and build my own Eco’s! But since I already have 6 dogs and 4 cats I think I’ll stick with my current eco at home! Anyway these are amazing and I hope to see a lot more and congrats on 10k subscribers XD

Be free cause it is sth u need to take care of (if neccessery) or else some diseases would happen and they will die. (I think)

Maybe it's cheating, but who cares? Learning the balance is how you eventually end up with a decade old terrarium. The most important part is the learning process and the eventual understanding.

If I wanted to set up some kind of ecosystem like this how would I go about doing it? Edit: I originally saw you’re 12 year ecosystem and want to do something similar to that. How do you know what kind of plants and insects to put into there and also how do you get your insects?

[@CaioRodrigues001]

It’s really simple, I did one myself. U need to go to a ecosystem near u like in a park (water ecosphere are easier to beginners). Then u get some materials: Something to grab dirt A cup A jar with a lock 1 step Grab dirt from the pond, some algae, moss and other plants (doing a little research about this ecosystem will help u too (: ). Step 2 Grab water from the pond ( a lot! If it is too much you can simply throw away in the pond again) Step 3 Go home and put the dirt then the plants and then put the water. The animals are going to appear after 2 or 3 days when the water clears up (they will be hiding in the dirt or in the water) Step 5 Leave on the window to get sunlight and you are done (:

[@dankovac1609]

@@clay4602 i literally just found these videos and know little about growing ecosystems, but i do know enough about nature to know that any old piece of dirt from an area where there's water has enough creatures in it to create an entire new pond if you made one! Hell, I'd bet you could populate an entire pool of clear water with a giant population of many different creatures just by adding a piece of swamp dirt and a few plants in it. It's amazing how our nature works and how there's life happening everywhere around us without us even noticing. Imma go make one right now, i just triggered my inner biologist 😄 Good luck with yours!
