today's tiny ecosystem is a towering azolla forest that lives in a bucket of water.
azolla is an aquatic fern. on the #farm, it can be used as green mulch & as supplemental animal feed.
it can take over a pond, so i keep dedicated azolla buckets where it can form a 3D mat that can even climb the sides of the bucket!
it can multiply very quickly from even a few pieces. it seems to prefer shade.
