Spring is on it's way!!! Jar Garden tips???
Hi. We're planning to do a jar garden here in a week or two and i was just wondering if anyone has done one before? Did you use soil or something else (the plan i'm looking at says to use a paper towel and a paper towel roll?) in the jar? What kind of seeds did you use or which are best for the most clear and dramatic results?
TIA

Thanks. We're also going to keep a journal of it's progress. I can't wait to see the kinds of drawings DS1 will do in his journal. And we'll add a few words too each picture.
I'm kind of surprised that i haven't gotten more replies. I thought for sure this was a project that would be fairly popular amongst homeschool families. lol.
Are you talking about something like a terrarium? I used to do them all the time - sometimes in a jar, sometimes in an old bottle, sometimes in a fish tank. The main things to watch - put gravel in the bottom to help the soil drain, add activated charcoal to help keep it from getting musty smelling and use plants that like high humidity.
If you search on terrariums, you should find more information.
it really does!
Quoting ziff130:oooh!! That sounds like a fun idea. I may have to look into that more. What a fun project. I hand't even thought of it.

BUMP! This caught my eye and I need to remind myself to look it up more tonight.
We started some seeds inside and I think that peas would really be the best for quick results.
