General Ideas

> turn nettels into ropes and try to make textile or baskets etc. out of it
> recycle trash into pots for plants + take kitchen scrapes/ herbs/ seeds for regrowing itself.
> turn natural ressources into colours/ paint. for example thumeric = yellow
> I could also combine these ideas into one big project: selfmade coloured basket = pot for the regrowing 
        plant. 
> find a new usage for trash 
> generating Bio gas by using compost

Chosen idea

  • use empty masen jars (my flatmates&me have a huge collection)

give them a new purpose by turning them into terrariums

  • this way the plant life becomes sustainable in an aestheticly pleasing way


Building a terrarium

> first layer: gravel
> second layer: soil 
> third layer: taller plants (place them et the back), smaller plants (placed at the front) 
> last step: place moss, nice looking stones and pieces of tree trunks
> (extra step: place tiny insects that are good for the little eco-system: for example snails and spring tails)

Gather materials

  • RULE FOR PLANTS: Either collect or buy them, no harm should be involved!*

Moss that is ripped from its place of growth, takes years to regrow. If it is already decaptivated from its origin, its safe to take. Ask mother nature if it would hurt, if its taken away!)

Further development of this project

Through collecting plants, it was quickly noticed that there is a lot of trash laying around too. Simply picking up the trash, helps the environment all around. Some trash that has been collected could even be used as a Trash-Terrarium, giving trash a new purpose: sustainable aestheticly pleasing art

another way to create life forms in glass containers is to:

Grow plants in a sterile glas environment
