Looking for a fun home science experiment? Make your own dung jar!
Watch as Pilobolus, a beautiful, jewel-like fungus develops in a few days on lumps of horse manure.
Be sure to keep a record of your dung jar.
e.g. Day One: I began my dung jar using a "horse apple" fresh from the horse today. I placed it in a pint jar on some paper towel with just enough water to wet the towel. Manure is green-black.
I am FIRST !!

ReplyDeleteHas Harold got any emails from do-it-yourself vegans?
ReplyDeleteI just 'told' some fellow blog buddy that I need to update my "who I visit" links.
ReplyDeleteAh the beauty of nature. I think I'll put several dung jars in the window facing my nosy neighbors house. That will really give her something to talk about!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we'll ever see Martha Stewart make a dung jar?
ReplyDeleteLets see some pics!
ReplyDeleteI grew some magic mushrooms once, now illegal in this country since last summer.
