Food and Soil Testing

The food we eat is only as GOOD as the SOIL it is growing in.

So here is a food / soil test:

Seeds have been planted in glass jars to watch what happens underground

Test

#1 Radish seeds in layers made up of compost, straw, compost, wood sticks and wood bark and compost

#2  Radish seeds in 100% homemade compost

#3 Radish seeds in Native Clay soils

Teaching jars ... The 2 jars on the right side of photo
