[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Happy holidays! As a present I want a like on this video. Or check out my patreon: patreon.com/Homemade_ecoystems thanks! My gift is more crappy videos

[@johnkeandeleon7821]

Balls

[@mandyfair9082]

Just what I wanted! Thank you 😊

[@Ants_Bas]

A crappy video what an amazing present. Thank you so much!

[@pepanek]

I would have subscribed twice! Love your vids, love your commentary. You always make me laugh!

[@theonepiece3223]

Best crapy videos ever

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

I like that you included the cucumber slices I always see in natural environments. Nature is amazing!

[@d007ization]

I liked the way the spider escaped immediately.

[@super_morto]

He wasn't on the drawing.

[@ayushbisht1135]

​@SeahamV2 🤣🤣yep

[@SeekerEarth]

A big thank you for getting me interested in ecosystems and learning more about small nature. Your fun way of presenting shows your interest and gets me into it to!

[@chrisbuckley1785]

This is why I love your channel. Not afraid to take risk and ask the real questions. David Attenborough could never....

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

😂David is still a legend

[@bobhill9845]

Watch out for Big Gum

[@chrisbuckley1785]

@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 nah I'm good...

[@poochiew.9302]

You don't know why we watch? We watch because of Bob. That and the way you create such majestic terrariums and your moss placement is outstanding! 😆😉👍 Long live Bob!

[@Rencer_1217]

And your voice

[@Dependencycourtsellschildren]

Go Bob. Go.

[@Jezzibolt]

@@Rencer_1217Watching to a man with such a dead voice put together such life is the ultimate juxtaposition. 11/10, would Bob again.

[@flim-flammington]

actually was a bit of an eye opener for me. i've always just thrown my gum wherever outside and assumed it would decompose in a couple days. Lesson learned.

[@cassandrabelyeu2419]

Thank you, person on the internet, for doing things a new way because you learned something new. ❤️

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

That is very cool man! A lot of people just don't realise what effect some small things can have

[@Smittenhamster]

Same here mate, today I learned something new.

[@o_Kinich_o]

Hmm if you learned that even your stomach acid can’t dissolve it, why can’t some dirt and worms😅

[@Crank4life1]

​@@o_Kinich_o Ur body have zero issues do digest a gum😂

[@AveryLovesGlitchcore]

Not even a minute in and i already love your line delivery

[@bobbobberson333]

At first I misread the title an thought you where gonna throw a gun into nature, I was dissapointed, maybe next video a real gun? Kidding! 10/10 video!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

sure why not

[@Loosgoo]

Yay

[@chrisj2713]

He's not American, he can't afford a gun.

[@Youraverageanimalfriend]

WHAT NO

[@EvanStout4193]

HOORAY

[@somegeese]

I live in a desert and as a result of everything being different shades of pinkish brown i love having living plants shoved in my face. Keep up the good work.

[@lilraverkid5300]

"now of course, im not going into real nature... that would be way to hard. Instead of that, I'm making my own nature... and for that, we have to go, in nature." that made me smile, great comedic timing! love your style dood!

[@MoultrieGeek]

This channel has inspired me to look at the marvel of nature right outside my front door. I live in the southern part of Georgia (US) and this area was a coastal plain at one time so the flora and fauna is much different than the rest of Georgia. I just started building my first terrarium using soil and plants sourced from my back garden and I can't wait to see what grows.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

That is awesome! I also love seeing the animals and plants appear in the terrariums. Thanks again for you support on patreon, happy holidays!

[@chzbrgr123]

I just discovered this channel yesterday and i am running through your entire catalog now

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Welcome!

[@rococogoth]

I love watching your videos with people around, because they always stop and go "What IS IT with this guy" and I get to remind whoever is near how much I enjoy your videos. Mostly Bob, but. It's Bob, how can you not enjoy them?

[@Vicnotinho]

a moral of story in this channel is something i never even considered

[@photogasm5]

I just wanted to stop in and say that you are really, genuinely funny. I stumbled across one of your videos and I thought you were so funny and clever that I sent it to one of my friends. Well done.

[@gavinwallace48]

Bro your videos are entertaining and educational at the same time I wish more ppl had that balance like you

[@mandyfair9082]

I love this! Powerful message here ❤. Also thank you for braving the wild for us in the name of science! Not all heroes wear capes...but you probably do. Happy Holidays to you too!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yeah I hate when I go for a walk and I find trash. I hope I have at least convinced 1 person to stop littering

[@Cheeseburger084]

Facts

[@papagrounds]

8:28 OMG I lost it with the spider 😂😂 It was like "yeah, this is getting too weird too fast, cya" 🤣

[@amanshah1611]

The dry humour takes it to another level 🤣

[@penguins4ever4k]

I like this channel it combines biology and jokes so well it makes it impossible not to watch

[@Cheeseburger084]

His humor is dryer that the Sáhara desert, 10/10 Love the crappy videos❤❤❤

[@sabriniacunnington8090]

The sarcasm is what made me keep watching🖤

[@justsomeguy5628]

Honestly, this is a beautiful vivarium/ecosystem, and I love learning more about nature. One question I have though is do you ever use clovers in these? They don't grow indefinitely like grass, but I understand they may take over, so I just wanna know.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thanks! Never intentionally but they have grown from the soil in some of my terrariums

[@IrisArazunuVasconcelCardozo]

Happy holidays to you and Bob!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Happy holidays to you too!

[@donevans1884]

Love the video . brilliant commentary .

[@paulcornwell2582]

Laughed out loud at tge "not the first time youve over estimated the size of something " 😅 so funny love the vids

[@raymondj8768]

Dude your a Blast I love your videos they always make me smile great job !!!

[@DrthVdr_qt]

I appreciate u releasing the beetle instead of just keeping it to see what happens

[@wojtazonix]

i love when u putting and patting moss in yours terrariums

[@Bulletproof_Trump]

This channel and it's sense of humor is getting me through a dark time. Thank you

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Glad I can help a little, hope you are well!

[@philwilliamson5193]

Cool style of video. Also, isopods kick ass. My last terrarium had a big enough of a hole that all the rolly pollys I found escaped. They curl up when they die, I discovered.

[@wikkedfamily]

what

[@stevesamson3940]

The best thing I learned from your channel is that whatever happens in my terrariums, IT'S OK. Happy new year!

[@shadypixel4478]

This man makes nature, and creates experiments on it, amazing!

[@lynnokrzynski8720]

I love Bob the different type of springtail. I think you should use more of Bob's family when you make future terrariums.❤❤❤

[@Lunark-w9m]

I like your video I love plants and nature

[@Walterbro69]

this guy is amazing

[@gaveintothedarkness]

Congrats on 200K subs!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you!

[@dude-jk2hn]

You inspire me to do this myself. And i am going to do it when summer comes.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Great ! Good luck

[@davewilson9738]

Happy everything to you too! Thanks for the funny and informative videos this year!

[@gabrielleengel7476]

Interesting idea and interesting creatures!

[@martinberlanga6272]

Great video like always! My favorite KZbinr of the year! Keep the videos coming in 2024 🎉and please more box unboxing!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Next video is unboxing of a box, I promise

[@marcuslavett3443]

I loved that part where there was moss

[@idkwhatever9561]

Wow your humor and sarcasm is so entertaining, this was such a good watch, thank you!

[@Multi_boy1]

I love the way you talk.

[@Ridrezz]

Do you have plans to build a DIY pond by adding plants and small fishes? Would be nice. Also my neighbour thought i was urinating in the drain but i was just collecting moss

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yes, I'm probably going to move within the next year so I hope I can move to a place with a garden that has space for a pond

[@christophhanke6627]

​@@HomemadeEcosystems if this is feasable, you could add some carnivorous plants too. Gets rid of some of the soon-to-be-annoying-you mosquitos that way

[@lornacy]

😂😂😂 at your nosy neighbor 😂😂😂

[@wikkedfamily]

@@christophhanke6627 yeah he should

[@chariguy1719]

came for the experiment, stayed for bob

[@rquest3059]

I've always wanted to build one, but though it was too complex to keep and maintain. But watching your videos has inspired me to bring nature indoors. 🏞

[@Heartshackles]

Weird looks is a mood... when you're collecting stones and sticks people look at you like they are at the zoo. Also important message in the video, but I also enjoyed seeing it being built with all the moss and the little pond

[@uhsaywhatnow]

Happy holidays to you and your Bob army! Thank you for all of the awesome videos!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Happy holidays!

[@ethanloznicka8470]

I believe the mushroom at 2:08 to be a shaggy mane mushroom if it is then at least at that point in time it was edible, they taste really good fried, obviously you should eat a wild mushroom without 100% being sure of what it is though. Thought you might like to know what it was tho, also I’m not a licensed mycologist so my identification may be wrong but I’m fairly sure it’s a shaggy mane mushroom

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

You might be right ! it looks like it

[@mitchelkvedar674]

As someone who’s always made sure to never throw my gum outside, I had no idea it could last 1000 years, I always heard/ assumed birds (or others) would choke on it

[@LocalGamerVrReal]

I love his videos and his humor and the sound of his voice goes perfect with his humor

[@jenb6412]

I love your sense of humour. ^_^

[@RandomRobloxuser-mx6xi]

“The dog shit in storm” the random cat that got stuck in a tornado nearby:🗿🍷 💩 0:49

[@Michaels-pianist]

3:54 "my balls are dirty, so I need to wash them first" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AmberSong]

I’m here for the hilarious commentary and to indirectly scratch the Goblen urge to play with dirt and bugs.

[@minecraftgod3171]

This channel made me interested in ecosystems, i have one for over 200 days now.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Awesome!

[@Kittylynx101]

Your so creative when it comes to naming things

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

I know

[@thejudgmentalcat]

We need names for the snail and Jurassic millipede (I mean, look at that guy, he's got -plot- armor!). I suggest Stu and Metalgod, respectively

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

From now on they shall be known as Stu and Metalgod

[@madchendernacht4155]

I just love the tone of your voice and how you just speak, like you are reading something infront of a class or so, is just extremly funny to me

[@michaelcooksey4695]

so glad i found ur content, i really love ur sense of humor

[@2Cerealbox]

I like the kind of nature you can enjoy inside.

[@PhilipZeplinDK]

Thank you for the Shroom zoom.

[@nemamiah7832]

That was an okay video. I liked the nature. Make more of it.

[@Pojochicken]

That moss had me on the edge of my seat. A real white knuckle thrill ride of a video.

[@vladislavkaras491]

That was interesting experiment! Thanks for the demonstration!

[@Onsvaltti]

I love your sarcastic videos. Never change your style. 😄🙌🏻✨

[@trala8911]

Bob is super cute! I’ve not seen a little round springtail before, and I have to say I rather prefer the caked-up springtail to the “standard” lean supermodel-esque springtails. I’m going to keep my eyes open for my very own Bob next time I’m out in nature :)

[@theremnantvisualized]

I love your channel. I'm finally not bored all the time. Your video's make me smile.

[@sleepydays2432]

My new favorite channel!

[@nickbeltz8602]

Thanks for the information and laughs!

[@davidr7813]

Love you hard work and dedication my man, The fact that you go outside to bring everyone these great video's blows my mind lol.... Now what the heck is that blue snail??? Hope you have a great 2024.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

That is a glass snail

[@beaub152]

I wonder if it would be different if you used a gum that wasnt plastic based (there are brands that use tree sap which can be rubbery)

[@user-Ityrirz]

there's edible plastic?

[@ArDeeMee]

There are gums that AREN‘T gummi arabicum? oO

[@iamjustkiwi]

​@@user-Ityrirz it's edible the way gold is edible - your body can't break it down at all so it passes through completely unchanged and comes out the other side the same.

[@lilspeth_]

​@@user-Ityrirz it's not edible; you're not supposed to eat gum

[@moos5221]

I love it when people have the same silly humour as I do, so keep practicing and one day you might get there.

[@simonl7784]

9:35 cool cordyceps on the cricket

[@austinjohnson6642]

Your videos always make my day happy holidays!

[@plumpmoose]

So excited for the update on this

[@minilimse4204]

I am so happy when I see you posted a new video. :)

[@spacechimp5141]

I like the bugs you incarcerated for your potential noble prize experiment. I don't think I've ever seen in that type of moss in Houston Texas.

[@TheFBI_onpaws123]

No one is talking about how he flipped us off when waving to us 💀

[@cprocess33]

I love your videos, very funny and very insightful! Walt Whitman would be proud

[@Bawamba]

The sarcasm in these videos are top tier 😂

[@SteveChapman-sw9qx]

I absolutely love your sarcasm it's hilarious

[@johnhellberg321]

Your videos and voice are so therapeutic for me. Also i liked for Bob.

[@Lefty28Lefty]

Looked for a comment about this but didnt see one - I LOL'd so hard at the reflection during the "wave at your part"

[@Gardureth]

Happy holidays Bob!

[@drinkinbuddy8264]

Happy Friday my guy I’m exited to watch

[@littlefiddlesticks]

Thanks for the shroom. I needed that

[@UnderASwiftSunrise]

Happy Holidays! Because of you and your videos, I asked for, and received, a spider enclosure. Come spring, I intend to capture a jumping spider and observe him for a couple of weeks before releasing him back into my yard. Until then, I plan to enjoy the enclosure as a terrarium.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Awesome!

[@cartertheiii7103]

thanks for that stillshot of that mushroom 🍄👍 very cool

[@Gaminggang14]

Happy holidays bro

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thanks! Same to you

[@saltdoll5288]

Thank you for your very scientific experiments.

[@HUKIT.]

I just found your channel and your humor throughout the video was hysterical. Well done lad!

[@misssunshine82]

Een 9 voor de spreekbeurt! Je had een 10 gekregen als de video 15 minuten had geduurd 😂😁. Gefeliciteerd met het bereiken van 200k! Op naar de 300k! 👍

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

🤣 bedankt!

[@KC-mw9hg]

I have Venus flytraps aswell!! And I can’t believe I’ve been here since 1k subs and your now at 202k

[@mirandahudson8913]

I don't usually like videos when I'm told to, because I'm a rebel like that - but in your case, I'll make an exception. Excellent content as usual, you're probably my favourite ecosystem content creator - extra points for amazing sarcasm

[@claeysBr]

Once done, do you put something on top of the terrarium to cover it, or do all the insects stay inside because they respect your authority?

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yes it has a lid but it has holes. It is mostely to prevent the slugs from sliding around in my bedroom 😅

[@Mostaism]

I watched just for that message at the end. A definitive yes or no. Thanks bud.

[@kridswonderhowell4541]

You're fun...informative... & hysterical! Subscribed!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Welcome!
