Now, when they're digging out the ponds, what happens is the water level finds itself naturally.
fuck off so it reforms but not only that the best thing about it is they were finding some seeds in there that had been extinct locally for generations but the seeds were kept there waiting for hundreds and hundreds of years for somebody to come along and give them a bit of sunlight and some air and the whole ecosystems came back to life
Is mycarsia in the soil part of that too?
All the stuff, everything, all the different bacteria, all the, you know, the fungal elements, everything would have come back because it was all sitting there dormant, waiting.
