In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden inside of a large glass bottle and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self contained ecosystem has flourished for nearly 60 years.
For those who are wondering how this is even possible: the garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and breaks down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis.
Regenerative farming uses enzymes and organic compost to allow vegetables to absorb soil minerals. Emphasis is placed on maintaining high levels of soil organic matter, thereby increasing bacterial action in the soil, minimizing ploughing, increasing biodiversity, crop rotation, cover crops, green manure, compost, mulch, etc.
