You can tell how ancient the forest is because the trees are in a perfect grid. Back then more complex distrtibutions of trees werent inventet yet.

Those trees in the ancient forests is planted by aliens. That's why they are in a perfect grid.

This is truly one of the jars of dirt in the world.

[@backwards7]

Before I subscribed to this channel, all of the KZbin videos I watched about jars, and the various unusual things that are stored in jars, were unwholesome and left me deeply concerned for the future of our species. Now that you have successfully stored elements of 1000-year-old forest inside a jar for 1000 days, you should begin adding progressively smaller jarred ecosystems, like a set of nesting dolls. If everyone works together, we can get all of the world's forests into jars, and they will be easier to stack.

"Once you add moss, you are the biggest boss" Well never heard that one, but now i´m gonna use it just to prove you wrong, that nobody says that

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

I'll allow it!

[@ChilibASMR]

The humor is dry but the terrariums are wet. I like this.

[@jadenemet4527]

I randomly came across one of your videos the other day and enjoyed it but didn't think much of it at the time until I realized I park by a big patch of moss at work and now I have a bowl of rocks, a bowl of dirt, and a bowl of moss sitting on my counter practically begging to be stuffed into a jar together.

[@pepehands5257]

This video changed my life forever. Im deeply moved by the quality and inovation of this video. So many groundbreaking and awesome camera shots! True masterpiece, I almost cried...

[@btnoodles]

Glad to to see Bob doing well.

Did you stop watching? Bob is dead

[@anonymus7588]

Bob is death and live at the same time

[@Random._.guy._.]

I would really appreciate a in depth, detailed tutorial on creating various ecosystems (like usual forest, ant focused, water focused, mushroom focused…) I mean you kinda did one already but like more detailed. What soil to pick, what animals to avoid, how to make sure it stays humid, what plants are good, what to do if x problem occurs, etc

[@Faith_Chi]

Funghi are interesting. :)

This channel is the reason I'm trying to get into terrarium making so this guide is really helpful!! Maybe I can finally do something with the big glass jars I have lying around

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Do it!

[@dariuszpys9307]

Yeah... Recently I watched one of your video by a happy little youtube accident and here we are, enjoying Bobs of all species. I didn't have any interest in any type of bug activities, but your professional stance as a certainly qualified biologist forces me to watch. Good job!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Glad you liked it!

[@AL-ng3rv]

I'm really just here for the tiny shovel, but these update videos are pretty awesome too. Thanks for opening my eyes to a part of the world I would have never thought about otherwise!

[@glassydairy]

great vid, its crazy how long its been since you first made that terrarium

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

true

[@PaigeDWinter]

A boob moment makes even the most awesome jarred grass videos even better. Also, never stop introducing new Bobs. The Extended Bob Universe is perfection.

You're one of the best eco-system channels ever. Especially because of those. Shots of dirt. Beautiful Keep on the good work.

Thank you!

[@guy9360]

Your channel has inspired me, in my quest to have something green survive in the house (it all dies). So I snuck a jar into the cart at IKEA, bought some fish filter carbon and some house plant soil at AVEVE, then got some rocks from the garden and added some moss from the garden and a random cute small piece of weed and a very tiny amount of soil from the garden, and a small stick. It's been 24 hours now and the plant is still alive and moving, and I saw a little white worm-like creature (0,5 mm) living there - like the worms you sometimes have in your ... Anyway thanks! Curious to see where it goes.

[@n2ocharged]

Who else is here for the commentary? I clicked on one of his ant videos and stayed for the commentary. Then I clicked another video, and now I'm here.

[@IntingPig]

Cant wait for the 2000 day update when we find two whole cat hairs! Also congrats on the face reveal at 4:60. Its always nice when KZbinrs come out of their shell.

[@coraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I actually tried to find 4:60 in the video. not 5:00. 4:60.
