I don't know what it is about a Canadian winter that has me thinking green (duh, Joanne), but it happens so naturally and instinctively. I found this lovely how-to for Terrariums on bhg.com and thought I'd share.

Materials
    -- Container
    -- Activated charcoal pieces
    -- Potting soil
    -- Gloves
    -- Terrarium-appropriate plants
    -- Sheet moss
    -- Watering can
    -- Trowel




Install approximately 1-2 inches of charcoal at base of container.


Combine remaining charcoal with soil either by hand or with trowel.

Fill your container one-fourth to one-third full with the charcoal-and-soil mixture. Gently pack the soil every 2 inches to avoid large air pockets.
