can you build an actual Garden in a formicarium Out world?

Hat I'm new and still lerning but can you build an actual Garden in a formicarium out world with real plants and everything or is this a bad idea? I'm just wondering though it was a cool idea

You can, but the ants may use the out world as the nest area because of the soils etc.

i would try and make some thing kinda like said above. a kinda half live, half artificial setup. either way try and keep it simple. good luck.

I was thinking more of like a marshy one with honeysuckle and sum other local plans that at produce high amounts of nectar but like the ground too moist for the ants to nest in and then having a second out world that's artificial and more deserty feeling where I'll give them there insects would that work? Or no?

[Carl75]

I like the idea of the out worlds being different areas like desert, marsh etc. You could try and post what happens

I will I love making enclosures that are realistic I have a nice river beach setup in my snakes cage and 4 mantises in a micro garden set up lol and man they all love it

[Regnarg1]

Any tips on how to get your ants to set up there garbage pile in a servant spot kuz if they would dump it in te marsh then they would simultaneously curtailed the plants???
