This Incredible Garden in a Bottle Hasn’t Been Watered in 44 Years

(via Popular Mechanics) Back in 1960, a man named David Latimer started an experiment. He placed some compost and a quarter pint of water in a 10-gallon glass bottle. Then, he added a spiderwort sprout at the bottom with the help of wires. He opened it back up twelve years later to add a little water, and hasn’t touched it since — but it continues to grow.
