Mini Landfills Experiment No. 9

Hello! Welcome to another installment of the Mini Landfills Experiment! I am Devin Rogel, but first I'm going to report that today, it was really cold. Brrrr! 



This is the control. We mixed it.

This is also the control. The sprout we ripped out of a nut is still alive! Somehow. We also noticed other types of small newborn plants.

This is the organics. We noticed plants in that one too. We added basically 1/3 cup of water to each.

This is a specific plant hiding in the organics. We don't know yet, but we think it's something from the food scraps such as broccoli or onions, but we can't identify it yet. It's still too young.

We even noticed plants in the trash bin!

Here's a closeup. The plants are hard to see, but they're there. 

This has been another edition of the Mini Landfills Experiment! I hope you enjoy the last one! Bye!

Mini Landfills Experiment No. 8

 Hello! Welcome to another installment of the Mini Landfills Experiment! This is Devin Rogel! Let's get started.


This is the control. We mixed it.

We also added no water. This was me testing the soil to check water levels.


This is the food scraps bin. This time, we noticed the egg shells.

Specifically, we noticed that the egg shells were brittle and weak.

This is the trash bin. We noticed that it was drier than the others. This confirms our suspicion of the trash stealing moisture.


This has been another update of the Mini Landfills Experiment! I hope you enjoyed! Bye!
