James Modern Terrarium- good instructions
Good instructions use an inspiration for my instructions for filling Biopod: Deconstruction: James Modern Terrariums | Design Milk
Soil
I create my terrarium soil from scratch. One should choose a soil suited to the plants inside. If you’re creating a succulent terrarium, buy a succulent and cacti terrarium mix. Otherwise, use a regular potting mix. I mix a half-cup of activated charcoal into the soil mix. The charcoal will keep the soil fresh. In addition, being porous, the charcoal adds some needed lightness and drainage to the soil. I add layers of sand or other materials to add visual interest to the bottom of the terrarium, making certain these materials are inert and will not leach any harmful chemicals into the soil.

RXTX processing mismatch
Every time I kept running processing it kept coming up with this error:
WARNING: RXTX Version mismatch
Jar version = RXTX-2.2pre1
native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2
After much searching I have found the solution for mac:
-Go into your arduino folder under (contents/resources/java) then copy RXTXcomm.jar and librxtxserial.jinlib
-paste into processing (java/libraries/serial/library)
-also paste into (hd/library/java/extensions)
This seems to have solved the mismatch error.

Ecotron: Biopod on a large scale
Graham told me about a radio program he heard about a project called Ecotron started during the 70s.
It has lots of great cross overs relating to my project so it could be a good group to contact/ future work.
