This was attempt #2. A fun day on the deck in the shade.
 |
| Mixing dirt and rocks. |
 |
| What up snail! |
 |
| Layer of carbon on the rocks. |
 |
| More carbon |
 |
| Dry sphagnum moss. |
 |
| The ferns in the background will go into glass enclosures with lids & some moss. |
 |
| Instead of backyard moss this time and tackling random bugs and grasses I soaked this cleaned mood moss from Pottery Barn. |
 |
| Clearance, score! |
 |
| Bath for the moss with distilled water. |
 |
| Soak the top by letting it float. |
 |
| Then submerge briefly. |
 |
| Squeeze out and let sit a bit while prepping the containers. |
 |
| Ah, if only could float on a boat of moss on a lazy afternoon. |
 |
| Learn your moss types |
 |
| Sizing up the moss for the jar. |
 |
| Judging space for the snail, the wild ginger will go in front. |
 |
| Hopefully these ginger will come back. |
 |
| Ginger jar with ferns and moss close-up view. |

| From above, two ferns and some mosses. |
