[@HomemadeEcosystems]

@@LordWumbology if there are or were some plants around the soil, there are seeds in there that will be 'activated' by the water you add so it should work 😁

@@HomemadeEcosystems got the jar and just put together a little hill with a rock stair case. Everything's dead here so hopefully the rain water will get it all going again.

[@hlessiavedon]

It is so perfectly deadpan

[@wintersfreund]

I build such a jar myself when i was young. I didn't open it, so the plants died three times before the ecosystem balanced itself. I used it for a referat at school and the following years was often asked to bring it back in school. At the end of my school time i donated it to the school. Now, twenty years later, it still exists.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Wow 20 years?! That is awesome!

[@wintersfreund]

@@HomemadeEcosystems when growing and rotting balance the air, the ecosystem is vital. Maybe the system died a fourth time when getting its place in school, before getting balanced again. I had my dirt build with a hole in the middle after the first death, so the water creates a little swamp for rot.

[@lyrebird9749]

Step 2.5 : Put a layer of stones / gravel in the bottom with a small circle of fly-screen or mesh on top, before you put in the dirt. This allows the moisture in the dirt to collect in the bottom, and gradually circulate in the jar. Otherwise your dirt will either be too dry or just be mud.

How’s the dirt jar going?

[@HelloHSR]

This is my personal favorite project of yours. It just shows the resilience of life in it's fullest. I've done something similar recently. Everything was frozen up until a few days ago where I live, so plants didn't sprout until then. I live in a desert, so I wondered what would happen if the jar was incredibly humid. It has a nice greenhouse effect, and seeing through the glass is especially difficult when it's cold, but that's it so far. Currently these are all the organisms I've noticed: I have an unidentified small plant about the size of a smaller pebble. It has a single leaf. I have a very small grass plant with only three blades, and the entire thing is under the dirt (I made a little cavern in the dirt, so I was hoping plants could grow both above ground and below). The last thing I've noticed is that there is a very small patch of algae between the dirt and the glass in one place. Even though it's about the size of a fridge magnet, it's the largest plant in the entire container as of right now.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Awesome, keep me posted on how it develops!

[@guy9360]

I was looking at these video's to make a terrarium and it all seemed pretty delicate and complicated and I had to go and buy a bunch of weird plants that will probably die. So I like this approach much better. In my search for getting something green to survive in the house, this may be crazy enough to work. As the only thing that grows around here are weeds in the garden, I can just take the garden inside. I will let you know how it ends up (I probably won't I am made of unrealised plans)

[@tecoreo]

Question - did you add water to the jar? How long would you keep it open to get new carbon dioxide each day, or did you open it each day? I noticed that you got the dirt from a place that looked like a garden - something that had been well tended and obviously had a lot of life in it - do you think that affected what grew? Such a fun project!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

I watered it once at the start but not anymore after that. I leave it closed most of the time. The animals and most of all the microorganisms produce carbon dioxide. The more plants that have grown in or around the soil the more things will grow, the seed banks grows over the years 😄
