Add three seeds to the potting mix and cover seeds with little remaining potting mix. After the addition of the potting mix, use a dropper filled with water and water each cell until water drips from the wick. Then place the quads on a watering tray under the fluorescent light bank. Each cell should have an equal distance from the light bank. Quads should be three inches below the fluorescent light; the light should also be left on all day. Make sure all wicks are in contact with the mat that sits on the watering tray. Also watch out for the watering system regularly throughout the experiment. After four to five days record plants in the quads, giving their phenotypes in a table for each cell removed all but the strongest plant.

Now, for a hydroponics there are three ways you could do it; water culture, multi flow, and ebb and flow. Water culture is a low cost and easy one and all you need is a styrofoam platform, water, and plants; Multi flow is a medium cost and is kinda hard to build and all it relies on is gravity flood plant trays with water and nutrients, a timer, float switch to control water levels, and plants; and finally Ebb and flow and that’s an easy system too and all it takes a plant tray, tubing, water pump, nutrients, water, and plants. Yet, for all of these you need a container or a fish tank to put them

As trays of the superfood sprouted on our kitchen counter and our morning orange juices were replaced with thin green concoctions that looked and tasted like liquid grass, kale was added to the mix. As the superfood obsession grew, an organic garden sprung up in the backyard. How would I keep up this momentum for fresh juice and vegetables when I moved back to School that August? Sure, there was an one acre organic farm on campus, but there had to be something better. Boarding school didn’t allow me the freedom to supply my growing addiction. There were no grow beds of wheatgrass at school or jars of broccoli sprouts on the counters— and there were certainly no juicers!

No matter the questions you have, we would love to assist you as you explore the

With the help of my mother and father, I constructed a raised-bed vegetable garden, which we completed the third week of October. We placed it next to our house so that the garden would be hit with plenty of sunlight. We used four pieces of plywood and nailed them to make a rectangular shaped container, the box was four feet wide, eight feet long, and a little less than twenty inches tall. We filled the box with ten inches of soil and later planted our vegetables we bought at Home Depot. We bought leeks, Chinese cabbage, Cauliflower, Savoy cabbage, and Mustard greens. I decided to start a garden because I’ve always had an interest in food and where it comes from.

A dream of mine is to help members of my community achieve the optimum picture of health in their lives, and to aid them in overcoming issues that can be resolved with dietary change. In fact, last year, I competed at a State competition and won second place in the nutrition category. After this, I continued to Nationals with a project that focused on how diet affects mental health. This year, I hope to again succeed in my project where I have reduced the effects of a disorder, Trichotillomania, through diet and

This summer I had the opportunity to intern at A Rose Garden Florist. With this internship I had goals set in mind that I wanted to accomplish; these goals consisted of being able to identify plants when I see them, as well as the upkeep and maintenance of a garden, the different care needs for plants, ways to preserve plants, and for growing them.

Furthermore, some of the mature vegetables cannot meet the expected quality standard and will be broken into natural fertilizer. By using the internal resource of the university, the plan creates more business profits, and declines human capitals with automatic irrigation system.
