Should I keep you updated on this jar or not?
For the interested people I have a patreon page: patreon.com/Homemade_ecoystems It will help me pay for Bob's funeral 🫡
Keep us updated!
Yes please!
Keep

I used to do something like this when I was a kid. I'd gather dirt from outside and put it in a dish on a windowsill and eagerly wait for something to happen while I watered it everyday.
And this one time a little fuzzy sprout with a purple-ish stem grew, and I took a liking to this one in particular over the others. Got real determined to keep it alive and see what it grew into...
Turns out it was a tomato plant! Someone had thrown some rotten tomatoes out back the year before where I had gathered the dirt, and I just happened to accidentally scoop up a seed in the dirt without knowing.
Kept it alive through the winter in a closet with a light. It ended up flowering and actually growing some tomatoes the next year, so that was really cool.
That is awesome!
This story brings me so much joy. I do this all the time and I've never had anything that surprising. Fingers crossed I get that lucky in the future, haha
Gonna try it out now!
@@akshayverma5429 please come back and let us know what you see!
Yes please
Sincere condolences to the family and friends of dear Bob. He will be greatly missed.
RIP!
What happened?
@@Callies_ChaoticAnimationCorner he died of blueballitis
@@alexsilasi630 who died ?
@@psyar_dragon1537 the crane fly in the video
I think all kids should do this with their “home” dirt. What a cool way to learn about native plants and insects that could potentially inhabit “just dirt”
True ! I think so too
I am currently in therapy over Bob. At first I was ok with his untimely death, but as time went by, thoughts of him consumed me. I just can't forget the good times we had and the brotherhood we shared. You will never be forgotten Bob. You were my everything and I was the wind beneath your wings.
That's so home oh sexual
Blue ball Bob meant so much to so many. I'm so sorry for your loss
RIP bob you will be missed😢. Fly high buddy

I clicked on this video thinking it was going to be a “foo” style relaxing terrarium video, boy was I wrong (and I’m absolutely laughing my ass off 😂) I’m definitely subscribing
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 😁
No cap. Commentary thru me off made my night 😂
Same here excellent video
Same here subbed after I saw blue ballz bob
What does foo mean?
RIP Bob. I love how no nonsense this is. Im gonna get my daughter to do this as a homeschool activity and set up time lapse. We are then going to se up three more on the weekend from dirt from our local rainforrest, dirt from near our house (clay soil) and dirt from maybe the boys bathroom, Im sure that's gonna grow some scary stuff
That sounds awesome!
Dirt from the bathroom??? Lol
Why is there enough dirt in a bathroom for this
@@inevitable48 🤣🤣right
@@inevitable48 pretty sure it was a joke
"died with blue balls" i almost spat my drink LOL
🤣
What kind of alcohol are you drinking
@@HomemadeEcosystemstheres alcohol called blue balls
@@urbanexoticuk Bob might have drank that too much 🤣
I will definitely be trying this - super fascinating!
I think so too!
Same this was the video that inspired me to do this I can't wait to see small animals in small world
I'm really curious how the animals will evolve living in a jar and if their body is going to evolve
Ive done this but not intentionally. When you plant fruits, veggies, or other plants even indoors you will get weeds and bugs growing/popping out of nowhere. Not fun.
This looks amazing! I've been doing closed terrariums for a while, and something I learned is that if you don't add a type of screen mesh between the rock and soil, the false bottom can fail. I had anaerobic bacteria kill my first jar and I have made sure to use mesh ever since. It's a lifesaver. Definitely got a new sub!
Yes it can indeed help! Especially in the long run
Thank you 😊
I have a jar exactly like that in the back of my kitchen cupboard. I KNEW I was saving it for something. I can't wait to get started on my little ecosystem! Great video thanks
Thank you!
I did this and mushrooms appeared ! It was so fascinating
Awesome, some mushrooms grew in one of my other terrariums too this week
Didn't expect I need a jar to make this ecosystem in a Jar
Biggest surprise of the video
I used a glass bottle 😏
@@denny4551 you rebel !
Me either kinda ruined my plans I have no jar ):
I took some mud from a lake and put it on top of some gravel with some extra water.
Almost a year later, and it still has about half a dozen species. They even survived a complete freeze! Lakes are just incredibly nutrient rich.
Yes they are!
I was totally wondering if I could start one of these even tho we’re in the winter in my city; would it still work?
@@michelledoe9934 It'd probably work just fine, unless it's really snowing. The bugs and worms might be sheltering deeper underground during the cold, though.
Nature kinda just works its magic, any time of the year.
Personally I would totally recommend going out to the lakeside; it can be a lot harder to find plants that can stand the extreme moisture, (even moss struggles if it's not on raised ground) but the biodiversity and aquatic organisms are worth it.
Thank you!!!!
I like that you are being genuinely hilarious without trying.
I love doing this, always really cool to see a barren jar become vibrant over time :)
Indeed!
I love ecosystem videos because it's one of those things that show life always finds a way
Perfect example of patience and how it leads/can lead you to success.

This why jack sparrow wanted the jar
@@edwinerickson6035 yesss I do too😂
Darn it beat me to it
@@snowbound4913 same here!
I came here just for this comment
Excellent narration and commentary 👌 👏 👍
I never knew that watching dirt in a jar was so hilarious and intriguing at the same time! Well done definitely sub. 💐 for Bob R.I.P.
The first animal actually appears on Day 40 ( 1:12 ), not 50. Hard to say for sure, but it looks like a springtail in the center of the screen.
Yes indeed, there are more animals in there than I thought
what about day 19
@@Egbert758 yeah i just saw the centipede inbetween the arrows on day 19 as well, was kinda surprised there wasn't a bunch of comments about it
@@zer0_5um yh, I came looking for that in the comments
@@Egbert758 I missed that. Nice eye!
If you do it right, you will never need to open the jar. I made some of these once. Out of the three I made, only one survived, but I forgot to bring it when we moved. It also surprisingly survived outside in the winter.
This actually makes a lot of sense when you thing about it. As soon as wildlife starts to appear, they breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide. The plants breathe out oxygen and breathe carbon dioxide in. Therefore, there should be an *infinite cycle of O2 and CO2
*Unless all the bugs/oxygen-breathing creatures die, or all the plants somehow die
Uhhh, yea, that's how it has always worked. That's even how the entire earth works.
@@f5tornado831 I just meant being inside of a closed off area it's more intriguing to see a small scale of what the Earth's ecosystem is like, and it being closed off from any outside source of oxygen or CO2 makes it more interesting to watch
As someone who's been watching SerpaDesign for some time now and have gotten into the terrarium hobby, I usually like creating my own scapes with plants put into them already and other elements like rocks, but this is definitely something I'd like to try sometime. If for no other reason, it might be a way to get some new plant species in a grow bin to use in future terrariums :D
Indeed, the plants that grow in like this will do well in terrariums otherwise they would not have grown in the jar 😁 I like to do both, sometimes I make the terrariums like you by adding plants, rocks,... and sometimes I just let nature do its thing like in this video
Please keep us updated, this was interesting, funny and I can't wait to see what happens!
Great narration. Weird this channel is introduced to me so late even though I've been watching terrarium stuff for years.
Probably because I'm still a very small channel
Bob was such a lad. We shall live by the example he never got to set.
Yes he was 🫡 update coming this weekend, Bob will make an appearance
Never thought watching dirt grow would be so intriguing! I might try this, Tx
He's got a jar of dirt he's got a jar of dirt he's got a jar of dirt and there's nothing but dirt inside it!
This video was so cool! What made it even cooler was your comedic wit!! Thanks! RIP blue balled Bob 😂
“This guy died of blueballs” 🤣🤣 that came out of nowhere!
You have a wonderful comedic style.
Excellent video!
Bob gave back to his community. What a critter! RIP Bob, sorry you went ur entire life without a mate.
I just stumbled across your channel with this video, your personality and voice is hilariously concise. I’ll be following!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
there was a springtail at day 40
Wooow I went back to see and saw it too now, great catch !
@@HomemadeEcosystems i also saw it, it was white, half transparent... was scrolling through the comments to see if someone already wrote it. I also startet an Ecosphere lets see how it´ll be in a few weeks.
I want to experiment with this. Like if I added clay or clay balls to the bottom
Also, this channel is severely underrated. Can't wait to see you blow up.
Thank you so much, this video is blowing up a bit so i'm already happy about that
This reminds me of my closed terrariums, you place solid and moss as well as plants and bugs into it and it sustains itself
Indeed, same principel!
We saw the springtail before day 50 (not day 100) and saw the moss on day 1 (opening comparison photo).
Yes I missed it, thanks!
“I’ve got a jar of dirt, I’ve got a jar of dirt, and guess what’s inside it?”
I got a jar of dirt. I got a jar of dirt (Falls down stairs ) I still got my jar of dirt
🤣
Very cool 👏🏻 Poor Bob 🪰
Thankyou 🙏🏻
Short and very interesting. I’ll do this myself tomorrow! New sub 🙂
Thank you, welcome to the channel! If you have any questions, let me know
@@HomemadeEcosystems Where did you get the dirt for this? Just outside or is it store bought or something?
@@romanredding375 just outside, this won't work with store bought soil
I used to do this when I was a child and did it with my kids over the years..we would also take a large jar with a lid and just put some pond water in it and see all the wild amazing life forms that were in there all summer long..
"I got a jar of dirt I got a jar of dirt"
-captain jack Sparrow
"Died with blueballs..." I'm fkn dyin' of laughter!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Me when my mom doesn’t let me get a dog:
RIP Bob😢. Loved your commentary!
Does it matter which season I start the jar?
It's mid winter now where I'm at, and I'd like to start one, but would that mean that there won't be any insect eggs?
Yes it can work but it will take longer for plants to grow or animals to hatch. I have started a new one about 2-3weeks ago (also winter here) and so far only 3 little plants have grown
Hahahaha whaaaat a jar is needed!? Get out of town! 😂👍 love this, thank you. I'm going to do this with my boys when the snow melts.
So would i only water this once, in the beginning set-up like you showed or would i need to continue adding moisture during the daily 15 minute air out? Sorry, just want to be 100% sure so i don't kill anything 🙏🌱🍀
You just have to make sure the soil is never dry. So if it dries out because of opening it daily at the start you can add some extra water 😁
@@HomemadeEcosystems after a bit of time when you stop opening for 15 minutes.....do you keep closed all the time or open all the time? Thank you - so very interesting - when my snow melts away I want to try it.
@@awrinkleintimeyesterday6067 after that it is sealed most of the time. I only open it to film it for videos like this
I have a terrarium I made 6 years ago, never opened. You should water it if you open it like he does. The most important thing is getting an air tight seal. Stuff like plastic 2 liter bottles have never sealed tight enough for me. I use the hinge lids like he does
Dude. This is wholesome content.
Totally going to make my kid (11yo) watch... and then hand him a big jar.
How often do you need to spray it with water
The soil should be a bit wet all the time so it depends on how often you open it etc. If you don't open it often it can go for months without adding extra water
I definitely wanna try this! Loved the commentary too 😂😂
Glad you liked it!
I've got a jar of dii-irt
I've got a jar of diii-irt
Props to te person who made this vid its sincere Simple straight to the point... subtil humor and not Over stimulating ...plus intersting and informative content :)
Thank you!
RIP Bob, gone too soon.
You were right, i didnt expect to need a jar..
Ive just been so upset over Bob lately.
I'll be doing this as soon as the ground in my yard thaws! Pretty cool!👍🌱
I tried doing 2 terrariums a couple of weeks ago, but both died. One of the things I was not so sure about is how much indirect light should they receive a day? (I know direct sunlight is bad for closed terrariums)
I follow the natural day and night cycle from outside. My terrariums sit on a window sill where they get natural light but no direct sunlight. I have a few with artificial lights and I put those on when I wake up and put them out when I go to sleep 😁
@@HomemadeEcosystems Then probably another thing killed my terrariums. Maybe the worms we put in, they died and might've just rot the entire terrarium. Thanks!
I laughed so hard when you said the fly had blue balls. Wasn’t expecting that lol
Captain Jack would be proud
Excellent example of the presence of seeds in the soil bank! Mix to expose to sunlight, add water and voile, plants!
Indeed!
Can it be regular water or does it have to be rain?
It works best with rainwater. Some plants don't like tapwater
Nature is amazing! This is also a nice thing to do together with children.
Moral of the story: don’t eat dirt
😅
I saw this on discovery channel in my childhood... And searching for the video .. thank you so much
No problem
What should I do if I don't have rainwater?
Use tapwater but let it sit out for a few hours before you add it to the jar
Condolences my friend, we enjoy ur content.
i think plants appeared because the soil had seeds in them and there were also insects so there were probably alot of life inside the jar
Yes indeed!
the grass are common type of wild grass that grow in indonesia or maybe other countries with similiar dirt, and they can spawn from just dirt if the dirt has condition for them to grow.
and that dirt is wet, so is not surprising for them to spawn and grow.
You know, I totally would've forgotten the jar for this jar ecosystem. Thanks for the reminder!
You are very welcome
Wow, I must try this
There's LIFE in the dirt ... awesome!!!
Yes indeed !
Lol, I was not expecting the humour from this dude - instant sub
You probably weren't expecting this.. but you will need a jar
Thanks 👍
You got me with the second of silence for bob the moskito 😂😂😂💯
😅
Rocks and dirt...two of my favourite things..✌🇨🇦🤣🤣
Great presentation thanks
Poor Bob, you rest softly my friend.
Best thumbnail ever
Thanks!! I love your videos 😁
Thanks for the tip on using a jar. Got a nice one today at a garage sale and I'm going to give this a try as soon as I find some screen material. Already have rocks and dirt.
Good luck!
haha! "DIED WITH BLUE BALLS" love it! Great video.
Thank you!
i’m gonna try this next i already made an ecosphere and this seems fun to try
Yes try it!
wow love this , great watching , .
The thumbnail to this video is so top notch
Thanks!
RIP Bob, you had some fans for sure
Absolutely Amazing
Died of Blue Balls earned my Subscribe this is epic thank you for helping me find my new hobby👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Welcome!
i like your sarcastic dry commentary, keep it up!
It's a miracle, praise be.
I seen the Ghost of Bob today.
He looked good.
Miss you Bob !
Bob couldn't even experience how big world he left behind...😭
😔
This is a fun experiment. 😃
This was very interesting and I’m excited to try it! Thanks for giving me this great idea! R.I.P. for Bob 😂
No problem 😁
"You probably didn't expect this, but you will need a jar."
Ahahahahhaha bouta subscribe just from that alone
Thank you, welcome to the channel!
Not me thinking this will be a chill and calm video😂 "blue ball death", "you will need a jar". Subscribed
Thank you!
Even in an enclosed space, life itself will always be able to thrive.
Bob was the real MVP.
Yes he was!
The dead pan, blue balls, got me.

Welcome to the channel !!
Thank you for this!!
The taller plants with round leaves are called hairy bittercress, in the cabbage family. It's actually edible!
Thank you!
