HI everybody,<br><br>You will find below the results of the soil testing that we did on Tuesday (thanks, Ludmila and Ashley!). I haven't interpreted them as yet, although we can see that nitrogen levels are extremely low. Hence, planting nitrogen-intensive plants like corn and roses might not be the best plan.<br>
<br>We could potentially add nitrogen-rich fertilizer to some of the plots. It was suggested that we experiment and plant the same species in two different plots, one with nitrogen added and one without, to see if it will make a difference.<br>
