I got a jar from the dollar store…
I grabbed gravel and dirt and soil from my yard
I yanked some moss and moisture liking plants from my yard
Assembled my jar, rocks first, then soil, then moss and plants.
Watered it without drowning it & closed the lid.
6 weeks later:
It rains in the jar, it’s working. I haven’t needed to water it & wont.
There’s a whole mini ecosystem thriving. Plants & moss are growing
Tiny spiders made a web at the bottom. I thought I had mold until I saw spiders.
There’s some kind of small winged bug like a fly that has emerged. Possibly reproducing. I have all these black specs clustered on the leaves now above the spider webs.
We shall see what comes next!
