The Project

We are testing 150 plants: 50 corn, 50 beans, and 50 cosmos, to find the most economically viable yet bio-productive ratio of potting mix and compost.

PURPLE (10 corn, 10 beans, 10 cosmos) 100% compost, 0% potting mix
BLUE (10 corn, 10 beans, 10 cosmos) 75% compost, 25% potting mix
GREEN (10 corn, 10 beans, 10 cosmos) 50% compost, 50% potting mix
ORANGE (10 corn, 10 beans, 10 cosmos) 25% compost, 75% potting mix
RED (10 corn, 10 beans, 10 cosmos) 0% compost, 100% potting mix
