| Geoffrey Sem Homemade Organic Soil vs. Commercial Soil in Plant Growth: Which is better?
Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / Environmental Innovation | Category: | Junior | Region: | York | City: | Richmond Hill, ON | School: | Richmond Hill Montessori and Elementary Private School | Abstract: | The purpose is to see if homemade organic soil is as good as commercial soil in plant growth. Leftover food items and shredded paper will be used to make homemade soil. Plant growth measurements will be made to see which soil is better. Based on my previous science experiment, used bathtub water was safe for plant growth so this would be used. |
