How to Make a Mini Biodome

Believe it or not grass can be fun to grow! Its simple you rarely have to feed it and it can lead to you getting other pets.

Steps

1
Go to your local hardware store and buy soil and grass seeds (if you want the grass to look pretty you can pick up some flower seeds as well). If you don't have a hardware store nearby, try a flower shop.
2
Look around for an old fish tank or bowl or some other container (clear containers are great for viewing the roots of the grass, or if you want to get a small animal for the tank). You can buy a fish tank at most pet stores which works fine!

3
Fill your tank about 4" with soil and spread one layer of seeds.
4
Fill your tank about 1" more and spread one more thinner layer (the two layers are to assure growth).
5
Place in a sunny place and water every day to every other day lightly (you don't want to drown the seeds).
6
Eventually you will start seeing some shoots. Hooray, you grew grass!
7
Keep watering occasionally. After a while you might be able to bring it inside. It may not need as much sunlight depending on how well it's doing.
8
If you eventually add a small animal to your tank, you can seal it off from oxygen if you choose. The grass will produce enough oxygen for small animals, and the animals should produce enough carbon dioxide for the grass.
9
You may still have to water the grass from time to time, but if you water it right before you seal it, you might get away with once a week because of condensation.

Enjoy your mini biodome !
