In 1960, David Latimer placed a spiderwort plant in a big glass bottle with a bit of water and sealed it.
He only opened it once in 1972 to add more water and then closed it forever.
This little garden in a bottle has been growing for over 60 years.
How does it work? The garden in the bottle is a self-running ecosystem.
Bacteria in the soil eat the dead plants and turn the plant's oxygen into carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
The bottle is essentially a small model of Earth.
@joncoopertweets Try to be opened minded. You’ll never learn if you cut off anyone with different views. Surrounding yourself by friends with diverse opinions and views will make you a better person and opens your perspective.
Bring me to a healthy food store and I’m gonna be the one asking for a gluten option. Tried @Erewhon for the first time and they don’t have a gluten Mac b cheese option??
