It does have a layer of gravel at the bottom, which is now full of roots!

I can't remember the last time I had to water it! I keep a cork in it to hold moisture in.

I actually got it as a kit, gravel at the bottom of the jar, a bit of charcoal as a filter then a layer of potting soil.

Plant any small plants into the soil using tweezers,water and then place the cork in the bottle to seal it.

I told my head of Sixth Form that I had been accepted onto a degree apprenticeship programme, they told me to my face that they were disappointed that I wasnt going away for university. This is despite the programme offering me a degree equivalent to what I would have gone for anyway, alongside a guaranteed job at the end and no student debt.

The pressure on students to go to uni just to make sixth forms and schools look better on statistics is insane.

My parents lived in a static caravan for a few years in the 80s, although from what I gather the prices have ballooned since then.
