    Neat, had no idea!

    If you don’t mind another dumb question, I looked at the backyard dirt ciliate, is that lil fella in water as well?

      Yeah all of mine are water based. That one is from dirt that I got from my back yard. I added water at about a 5:1 ratio then waited a few days for the microbes to wake up. Soil is crazy active. Kinda blows my mind how much goes on in soil.

      Edit: and yeah please ask away, I find this stuff so interesting. I really enjoy sharing.
