					<description><![CDATA[Ultimately, the success or failure of your terrarium is mostly determined by the substrate you build it with. Soil is literally and figuratively the foundation of an ecosystem, and that remains true in your jar. But before we dive into terrarium substrate recommendations and how-to&#8217;s, lets define some terms and clear up some misconceptions so [&#8230;]]]></description>

I realized recently that most of my desire to create terrariums comes from the actual terrarium itself rather than the contents. I&#8217;ll see a big jar or a cool glass [&#8230;]]]></description>

Should you make a sealed terrarium or an unsealed terrarium? Your choice will have far-reaching implications (at least as far as your terrarium is concerned). It dictates the type and number of plants and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The short answer is: Yes. The longer answer is: Eh, mostly. If you want to be technical, nothing is really self-sustaining. In the end, entropy will win every time… but that’s a nihilistic way to look at things. It’s entirely possible to create a terrarium that lasts longer than you do!

It&#8217;s a dynamic, growing, and changing ecosystem that&#8217;s self-contained and self-perpetuating. A terrarium is also a jar of dirt and some weeds. Depends on how you look at it.

Aquaponics is an ancient practice &#8211; Japanese rice farmers used to keep carp in their flooded fields. The carp ate pests that might damage the rice, created [&#8230;]]]></description>
