Day 8-Renee

The spider looks good, but we couldn't find the frog again. Hopefully they will be happier soon b/c we put our flies in today. At first when I looked in the aquatic chamber, the tadpole and leach seemed sluggish. I worried they may be running out of oxygen or there was too much of something else, but they perked up after we messed with the ecocolumn a bit. There is some sort of little plant growth in the soil that was new...I don't know what they are, but they showed up all over the place in my garden too. The condensation is all over the container in all sections, so I'm guessing it is able to maintain a balance of its own. Although I was a bit concerned that all living things in it would freeze to death given the temp around this place!
