Plant the Moon Challenge

This Red Rocks Community College 2025-26 Plant the Moon project explores rice plant growth with different proportions of lunar regolith, potting soil, and the effects of water sources on plant health. The lunar regolith was divided into three different growing media compositions: 100% lunar regolith, 100% potting soil, and a 50% mix between the two media. Each combination of growth medium was watered with one of two different water-nutrient mixtures: run-off water from an existing aquaponic system or distilled water with a 2.34% concentration of all-purpose liquid fertilizer. The combination of 100% lunar regolith and aquaponic water grew the tallest rice plants, supporting the original hypothesis of this experiment that paddy farming rice with lunar regolith and aquaponic water would in fact yield the highest growth.

The Plant Mars experiment investigated how different soil compositions affected plant growth, focusing on tomatoes and dandelions grown in varying mixtures of Mars regolith and biochar. Although tomatoes and dandelions are considered companion plants, results showed that they performed best in different soil compositions, highlighting the importance of matching plant species to specific soil conditions. Overall, soils with higher proportions of Mars regolith supported better plant growth than soils with higher amounts of biochar. Key lessons learned included the importance of taking weekly growth photos, using consistent measurement techniques, and ensuring all team members were properly trained on equipment. These findings suggest that successful plant growth in Martian environments will require careful soil composition, planning, and watering techniques.

The Effectiveness of Added Nutrient Solution on Pea and Bean Growth in Lunar Regolith

We hypothesized that if a nutrient solution of specific minerals that are lacking in regolith but necessary for growth, are added to regolith, in a dosage proportional to plant size, then peas and black beans will grow well and produce crops. We hoped to see a positive correlation between the addition of a nutrient solution and the growth and health of the plants so they would produce healthy, harvestable pods.

Hello my name is Daniel Zepeda, and I am Jade Block, and we are the South Early College High School, Lunar Panthers.

We apologize for the delay, this is our initial planting video submission.

We decided we wanted to investigate the effect of the lunar regolith amendment on the growth of Summer Crisp Lettuce.

So our treatments for this project were a positive control, being regular soil negative control, the lunar regolith, coconut core, lettuce root, and food waste compost.

We also decided to use 9 pots for each treatment with a different color pot for each treatment.

We also decided to fill each pot with 50% of lunar regolith and 50% amendment.

Initially we added 10 milliliters, but soon realized that we needed to  increase it to 20 milliliters/container to sustain the plants long-term.

1. The soil in our county matched the order that the survey displayed (Mollisols), as we found that related loamy soils work well with plating crops.

2. In terrains with mollisols, like our area, the thick organic rich soil allows fruits and veggies to be planted, like sunflowers, lettuce, cucumber, which were plants that we planted for our mars experiment.

3. Our soils happen to be more acidic than midwestern soils, as we produce more spodosols which need organic matter to allow crops to successfully grow.
