Question about leaf cutter ants

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about starting a leaf-cutter colony and found some starter sets with 3 connected cubes — one for the outworld, one for the nest, and one for waste. You can expand by adding more cubes as the colony grows.

In the product video, the outworld and waste cubes are almost empty except for leaves, the nest, and waste.

I’d love to make the outworld and waste area look more like a small terrarium with soil and plants. Maybe even with some compatible roommates.

Is that something people just don’t do, or would that kind of setup not work for leaf-cutters?

Thanks!
