David Latimer has grown a garden in a large glass bottle (Sealed Bottle Garden) that he sealed and has never opened once in over 60 years, creating an incredible closed environment. This is a fantastic illustration of how nature may function in a self-sufficient setting.
On Easter Sunday in 1960, Latimer created a terrarium garden. He planted a spiderwort sprout to a large glass container known as a carboy along with some compost and water. Although spiderwort seedlings are typically cultivated outside, he used wires to place them inside the bottle. He opened the container to pour in additional water in 1972. He then closed the bottle and sealed it, leaving it that way. Sunlight is all that the garden needs to live.
Plants may grow in a closed jar filled with compost without requiring further maintenance. This is due to the microorganisms in the compost, which decompose dead plants and convert oxygen into carbon dioxide, which is what living things need. It functions autonomously, resembling a little globe and demonstrating the coexistence of many ecosystems.
