It’s been a whole week since starting my latest experiment comparing basil growth in different soil types…so how are we doing?  It looks like all 5 pots have sprouts, with the tea leaf compost and my tumbler compost tying at 9 a piece.  To my surprise, the vermicompost has just two sprouts so far.  Let’s take a look:

Control soil: 1 tiny sprout
Commercial Compost - 4 sprouts
Tea Leaf Compost - 9 sprouts
My tumbler compost - 9 sprouts
Vermicompost - 2 sprouts

There you have it!  Are these the results you expected?  I’m pretty psyched to see how this experiment progresses…
