The urn is divided into 2 capsules: - Top capsule is the sealed lid that contains the soil mix and expansion disc - Lower capsule is where you put the ashes Steps: 1. Fill the lower capsule with ashes TIP: If you're only using a portion of the ashes, be sure to fill the remainder of the Bios Urn with soil from the surrounding area to fill in the excess space 2. Close the lower capsule with the upper capsule by sealing it into place, twisting it slightly to the side 3. Choose a spot where you want to plant your urn TIP: If you're planting large trees, like Acacia or Mahogany, find a spot at least 15 feet away from any house or large structure 4. Plant your Bios Urn! Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the urn. Generally around 15-16 inches is a good depth, with a width of 10-12 inches. Plant the Bios Urn inside, leaving the soil surface a couple of fingers above the top of the urn. TIP: Water the entire hole before you plant the Bios Urn. This will help begin the biodegradation process. 5. Remove the seal from the top capsule and unpack the components (soil expansion disc, growth medium, seeds). Place the expansion disc at the bottom of the top capsule then add the growth medium. We recommend adding additional soil above the growth medium. Place the seeds on the very top and cover them with only a small amount of soil (1/4 inch is generally sufficient). 6. Cover the Bios Urn with soil from the surrounding area, and thoroughly water the spot you have planted it. There should be around 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of soil on top of the seeds (make sure you don't place too much on top!) TIP: Bury the entire urn. Nothing should be exposed. Remember: TLC! All living things require some basic tender loving care
