 Breeding crickets do you think this will work???

Well this is what I am trying but I don’t really know what I’m doing =). First I got a LARGE pickle jar and filled it will 3-4 inches of soil topped lightly with Bed of beast (for added humidity) then I took a small medicine bottle and made 4 holes in the top and threaded a tube with a small air stone in it and filled the bottle with water and closed the lid attached to an air pump. Then I added a shallow dish with gutload and oatmeal and a piece of egg crate. OH yeah and added the last of my Large crickets. Maybe three or four crickets. I will get more this afternoon and add them if I need to but I wanted to see if the crickets could live in this environment. How long should I leave the crickets with the soil? How do I know if they have laid eggs can I see the eggs?
Please let me know what you think. Ill post a picture of my contraption this afternoon when my husband brings me the camera.
thanks
