  • Three plant pots
  • Three tomato plants 
  • One bag of Miracle Gro tomato plant fertilizer
  • One bin of bat guano 
  • Watering Can 
  • Hose Water

    1. Put soil into each pot
    2. Put all three tomato plants into the filled pots
    3. Label each plant either Miracle Gro, Bat guano or just h2o

    1. Scoop one scoop of fertilizer from Miracle Gro Bag
    2. Mix into 3/4 gallon of water (in watering can) to create a fertilizer+water solution
    3. Fertilize plant with the solution until you think it has can't hold any more
    4. Do exact same thing for Bat Guano (Even same scooper and measurements)
      Do this every three days for the bat guano and Miracle Gro plants
    5. Water the plants every day

    6. Just water the h2o plant daily, no fertilizer used in experiment for this plant

    Plant Height:All started at 4 inches. (When potted)

    Potted all plants | Figured out fertilization schedules | Fertilized and/or watered all plants | Figured out Variables | Started writing down notes for experiment | Figured out ¾ gallon water is too much water, changing to ½ gallon |

    Plant Height: MG:9.5 inch. BAT:6.5 inch. H2O:7.5 inch.

    It seemed like the water surpassed the Bat Guano and the MG is the best so far

    Picked all of the blossoms of the tomato plants off. Blossoms=Less growth in height and more growth in fruit

I think the experiment could have gone differently depending on what the root bulbs were and how the plants were exposed to different threats of wildlife. It would be interesting to see if the kind of man made fertilizer would affect the plant's growth as the kind of fertilizer used was specifically designed for tomato plants.  ]]> 2017-06-08 15:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/db42049/ejx7j78q9ben/wish/175750722
