The idea is that you keep "feeding" the garden (by pouring in more solution every few days) and it continues to grow. We used charcoal briquettes as our base (the material needs to be porous) in the same container as our previous paper towel roll crystal experiment (a recycled Chinese food container). We mixed the solution together, dropped a few drops of food coloring on top of the briquettes, and poured the solution over the briquettes. It appears to be "growing" nicely.
