Sow 100 on wet paper towels, and see how many grow. Statistics, but also roots and leaves. No soil - how does this happen?!! Then try adding nutrients to some water.

I'd love to pick your brain on how you use a "garden" in class. Maybe one day you'll let me pick your brain over e-mail?The Dirt on Soilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955063473012431050noreply@blogger.com
