Lightbulb Greenhouse from Recycled Materials
By Chrisjob
Everything must simply be better when its small, and/or under glass. Cats are selfish; kittens? ADORable! Likewise, boats are totally boring, but a ship-in-a-bottle?! None cooler.
Set atop a more aesthetically pleasing 'cradle', a series of these 'greenhouses' would look delightful along a windowsill- perfectly playful and exuding life.
(Instructions and photos via tearsoffire.org)
1. Hollow out a lightbulb, following these instructions and being ridiculously careful.
2. Create a cradle: The gentleman from Tearsoffire used an inverted coffee cup with the bottom removed, but I challenge all to find a cooler option. Post 'em below!
3. Combine inert media/porous rocks with potting soil, in a 1:1 ratio.
4. Using bamboo skewers, carefully plant your baby greenery.

Could you use wire to hang them in a window, maybe at different heights?
