| | Abstract | The Liquid Organic Compost Fertilizer project is a challenge to the |
| | traditional methods of fertilization and preview of a bright future with |
| | environmentally friendly natives. The hypothesis: “if the liquid organic |
| | compost fertilizer is applied to radish plants, then more plants will survive |
| | and the plants will grow taller than radish plants grown using a traditional |
| | fertilizer (Scotts Miracle-Gro®), therefore it will be more effective than the |
| | traditional fertilizer” is a bold answer to the pollutant fertilizers of the past. |
| | After extensive procedural experimentation, involving the creation of the |
| | new Liquid Organic Compost Fertilizer and the growing of three different |
| | sets of radish plants, one by the Liquid Organic Compost Fertilizer, another |
| | by a traditional fertilizer, and finally, one by plain water. It was found that |
| | the hypothesis was achieved and supported by observations and data |
| | collected by the experiment. |
