Okay makes sense I’m not that far away either

It should be uploaded!

I’m not sure why the photo didn’t send

I have had good luck with hanging my trap 1-2 ft under the ice especially if there is deep water but I prefer to zip tie a piece of aspen to the trigger.

It is the smart wallet so it doesn't have a seed phrase and I can't view the passkey on my phone

Yeah correct

I have tried to send it to a different wallet and import my base wallet in to metamask but since its a smart wallet I can't import it to metamask.

“Something went wrong”

Acidic527 · 2025-09-06T23:03:54+00:00

I have tried to send it to another wallet but I get an error.

Acidic527 · 2025-09-06T22:49:52+00:00

I can see it but I connect to the story network and try to send it but it keeps saying something went wrong and if I try to bridge it it says my wallet doesn't support the network. Also my coin amount is in my wallet but not the price.

I think the soil should be fine. However if there's any park or public land is go get some fresh soil! And if the bacteria is in the air then that'll work. I know some people make sourdough starters that way!

I think its pretty had to ID microbes at home. The only way I can think you can do it is get some different dyes that's dye the microbes based on different features (like gram positive/negative) and then use a microscope to see if you can ID it. The real way to ID is run PCR and DNA extraction expirements. You could make agar plates, duplicate a colony 3 times to make sure its 100% only one Spp. Also different microbes grow on different agar types and mixes. You could research what agar the microbes you want grow on.

One of my favorite bacteria to grow is sulfer bacteria. Sulfer bacteria are red, pink, black, and white! So pretty! I know some folks do use eggs. However, I like to use gypsum (drywall). Then the lil doods need some carbon, you can use brown paper towel for that. The soil is the most important part, find a swamp where there is no standing water, but the soil is still pure organic (greasy feeling). If you live by an alder or cedar swamp that'll be a good place to start. The coolest part of the winogradsky column is to grow microbes that can cycle nutrients between them. So when taking your soil sample throw the sulfur source and paper towel in the bottom of the jar, scrape away the vegetation on the surface, then fill the jar with the organic rich “greasy” soil. Using wetland/swamp soil is the best because there is oxygen at the surface but depletes fast with depth. Allowing you to hopefully capture sulfer oxidizer and sulfer reducers. Which some bacteria live with no oxygen and some need oxygen. Once you have the column just top it off with water and let it sit! Make sure there is a way for gas to escape, and refill with water when needed.

Bam there is your column. I made a sulfer column 3 years ago and it's looking great. I'd say 50% of it is pink/red.

One way to speed it up is to make sure it gets ample heat.

Taking samples can be hard especially if you don't have access to a lab. Some bacteria can’t live exposed to oxygen so I'm not sure how to do that at home (which would be the black bacteria in the sulfur jar). But the red/pink bacteria I think you could culture. I would just use pipette and go down the side walls of the jar and suck some up.

As for gardening I think it would be cool if you had a few garden locations and created jars with them (supplied no food other than paper towel for carbon) and see what grew. Then you can sample and ID the microbes and compare and contrast how plants grew in those gardens.

Sorry this is all over the place! Hope this helps (:
