Our final product (Liam, Bear, Rory) consists of 3 working household items. A brush and dustpan, and a broom. We made them using raffia (hay), wood, screws, and bamboo.

I enjoyed using my hands to create something amazing. In the past 3 or 4 weeks, my group has made 3 working items, all of which I'm proud of. I really enjoyed creating things. I learnt valuable skills when we had rare cooking sessions. Little skills that can help you improve so much. I also think that using hay and bamboo to make useful tools is a very valuable thing to have. I have put lots of effort into my work over the weeks. I especially think I lead us to our final product, doing the most work, and coming up with the ideas. I wonder if I would have succeeded more in a different project, harvesting my drawing skills. I think Padlet is a really great tool, definitely the best and most simple to explore compared to other sites we used in TAS.

1 | The Drainage Layer – A foundational structure and reservoir for excess water to drain into. Ours will also include an activated charcoal layer and mesh barrier.

2 | The Substrate Layer – The physical and nutritional support for your plants. For healthy plants, you’ll want to choose a tropical substrate mix over a standard potting soil.

3 | The Hardscape – All the cool rocks and branches that mimic the mountainous contours of the natural world. They bring scale and dynamic shape to closed terrariums.

4 | The Closed Terrarium Plants – Choose appropriate plants from the various categories of tropical species and create your vibrant miniature landscape!

5 | Personal Touches – Once the ecosystem is in place, it’s time to create your final scene and add any last highlights. Natural or otherwise (dinosaur figurines count as natural, right?).

Mushrooms make over double the amount of carbon than trees, but it is all held under the earth

Mushrooms are their own species, but their genetic code is closer to humans than plants

Humans have only discovered about 10% of all mushrooms on earth, leaving about 90% left to discover!

Fungi are the kingdom that mushrooms lie under, coming in all different sorts, from parasites that infest bugs, mushrooms that control ants, and other that release a deadly gas when touched
