Question
Science Project
I am growing mustard cabbage and they will all have the same of soil and pots but half 9 seeds will have salt water and other 9 seeds will have sugar water. Which one do you think will grow faster and why?
Answer
Im going to say the pots with sugar water will do best. Salt build up in commercial and home gardens can be very detrimental to the growth of plants, too much salt will kill most plants. Happy Gardening!
