How To Make Own Terrarium by Good Earth Garden Centre
The Good Earth's own plant whisperer Steve teaches us how to make a terrarium, step by step!
wikipedia: A terrarium is a type of miniature ecosystem of plants. Terrariums are usually sealable glass containers that can be opened for maintenance and to access the plants inside. However, this is not essential, terrariums can also be made using other transparent materials and some are open to the atmosphere rather than being sealed. Terrariums are often kept as decorative or ornamental items in the same way as aquariums.
Closed terrariums create a unique environment for plant growth, the transparent walls allow for both heat and light to enter the terrarium. The sealed container combined with the heat entering the terrarium allows for the creation of a small scale water cycle. This happens because moisture from both the soil and plants evaporates in the elevated temperatures inside the terrarium. This water vapour then condenses on the walls of the container, and eventually falls back to the plants and soil below. This contributes to creating an ideal environment for growing plants due to the constant supply of water, thereby preventing the plants from becoming over dry. In addition to this, the light that passes through the transparent material of the terrarium allows for the plants within to photosynthesise, an important aspect of plant growth.

In this 23 minute video, you will see professional aquascaper, and founder of The Green machine- James Findley creating a planted aquarium from scratch. We'll take you step by step through the process so you can understand the technical and artistic decisions James makes at each stage.
James is using one of the most popular sized aquariums on the market- a 60 cm wide, by 30 deep, by 36 cm high, 64.8 litre ADA Cube Garden.
ADA Cube Gardens are made from low-iron, higher clarity glass, which results in a brighter, more vibrant view of your planted tank.
James is well known for creating Supertanks such as Nature's Chaos, Arizona, and Reciprocity, so it is interesting to see him planting a more average sized home aquarium.

Gutter Garden Creative Ideas by Lowe's Home Improvement.
Here's a fun vertical gardening idea. Learn how to make a rain gutter garden on your yard fence. For full project details, Green up a plain fence while keeping pests out of your garden produce. Turn pieces of gutter into containers for herbs and leafy vegetables. click here: http://low.es/1i8p6p6

Step 1
From 1 x 4 pressure-treated lumber, cut two pieces 62 inches long and four pieces 34 inches long.
Step 2
Drive pocket-hole screws
On a flat work surface, lay out the two horizontal frame pieces and four vertical pieces upside down as shown on the Gutter Garden Frame Project Diagram. Follow the instructions that came with your pocket-hole drilling jig to drill two holes at each joint. Apply Liquid Nails adhesive and screw the frame together.
Step 3
Drill drain holes
Use a miter saw or handsaw to cut the plastic gutters into four 5-foot lengths. Use sandpaper to clean up the cut ends and attach caps to both ends of each piece. Drill 1/4-inch drain holes near the left end of two sections and near the right end of the other two.
Step 4
On the back side of the frame at the top, use a square and pencil to mark lines 1-3/4 inches and 17-3/4 inches from both ends (centered above the vertical pieces). Hold a 1-inch corner bracket with the corner even with the top of the frame and mark the screw hole location where it crosses the lines. Then drill 3/32-inch pilot holes for the brackets.
Step 5
Measure the gutter bracket locations
Draw centered lines the length of the two center boards and extend the lines over the two horizontal boards at each joint. Measuring down the left line from the top edge of the frame, mark the line at 2-1/4 inches, 13-1/4 inches, 24-1/2 inches, and 35-1/4 inches. On the right side, mark the line at 2 inches, 13-1/2 inches, 24-1/4 inches, and 35-1/2 inches. This allows the gutters to tilt slightly and drain excess water.
Step 6
Screw gutter brackets to the frame
Align the gutter bracket top edge with one of the marks on a centered line and mark the mounting screw location. Drill a 9/64-inch pilot hole and use rust-resistant screws to fasten the bracket to the frame. Repeat for the remaining brackets. Avoid overtightening the brackets.
Step 7
Rest a gutter section with the drain holes on the left end loosely on the top brackets and inset 1 inch from the left or right edge of the frame. Tilt and press it into the upper brackets until it pops in place. Then install a gutter with the holes on the right in the brackets below that. Alternate left and right for the remaining two gutters.
Step 8
Add the mounting brackets
Screw the mounting brackets to the back using the pilot holes drilled in Step 4. Hold the frame against the top crossbeam of the fence where you'll install it and screw the corner brackets to the crossbeam.
Step 9
Add soil and plants to the gutters
Add a light planting mix to the gutters, filling them to 3/4 inch from the top. Then add the plants or seeds of your choice.

Step 1
From 1 x 4 pressure-treated lumber, cut two pieces 62 inches long and four pieces 34 inches long.
Step 2
Drive pocket-hole screws
On a flat work surface, lay out the two horizontal frame pieces and four vertical pieces upside down as shown on the Gutter Garden Frame Project Diagram.

Hold a 1-inch corner bracket with the corner even with the top of the frame and mark the screw hole location where it crosses the lines. Then drill 3/32-inch pilot holes for the brackets.

Draw centered lines the length of the two center boards and extend the lines over the two horizontal boards at each joint. Measuring down the left line from the top edge of the frame, mark the line at 2-1/4 inches, 13-1/4 inches, 24-1/2 inches, and 35-1/4 inches. On the right side, mark the line at 2 inches, 13-1/2 inches, 24-1/4 inches, and 35-1/2 inches. This allows the gutters to tilt slightly and drain excess water.
