After the apocalypse, the only survivors would be cockroaches and this thing.
It's a miracle. Only an engineer would concoct something like this, and keep it going.
David Latimer first planted his bottle garden in 1960 and last watered it in 1972 before tightly sealing it shut 'as an experiment'
The hardy spiderworts plant inside has grown to fill the 10-gallon container by surviving entirely on recycled air, nutrients and water.
And of course, solar energy. I wonder how long this spiderwort will keep thriving? Looks like it's going to outlive it's gardener.
Interesting, I like that and I like his wine rack, too.
ReplyDeleteI built one of those in a five gallon water jug when I was in about the 5th grade. It was still going strong when I went in the Navy in '67. I wonder what ever became of that. But then I wonder that about a lot of things.
