| Abstract | The purpose of this project is to compare cow manure, coconut coir, peat, paper, and plastic pots to see how different pot materials affect soil moisture retention, soil pH stability, bean seedling growth, and pot decomposition over 15 days. Plastic pots are used as a control for comparison. This experiment will help determine which biodegradable pot best supports plant growth while also being environmentally friendly and sustainable. |
