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.

Step 2.5 : Put some stones / gravel in the bottom 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.

Who knew that watching dirt in a jar could be so much fun?! Love your jokes and your information. 😊
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.

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?
