ECOCOLUMN UPDATE


Amazingly the life in our aquatic chamber appears healthy and happily swimming through the lush vegetation. In fact, the wonder of life has occurred and we have a new tadpole. The water has cleared as expected and all the plants show new growth. Small particles of dirt have seeped through the holes in the bottle cap and have entered the aquatic chamber.
Happily condensation continues to form within the the chambers. This transpiration is essential for our column to continue. A piece of banana peel was placed into the decomposing chamber. Mold spores are beginning to form on the peel.
Unfortunately we were unable to locate the bug that was placed in the terrestrial chamber three days ago. Our plants have started to wilt. We added some water into this chamber to help prevent them from dying.
