Summary of "Compost vs. Fertilizer: I TESTED growing Peppers & Tomatoes with both - here are the results!"
Experimental Setup
- Environment A:
- 100% sterile store-bought seedling mix (Promix).
- No additional nutrients or fertilization.
- Hypothesis: Plants will struggle due to lack of nutrition.
- Environment B:
- Environment C:
- Same as Environment B (50% Promix and 50% compost).
- Added one handful of worm castings and one tablespoon of 444 organic fertilizer in each transplant hole.
- Hypothesis: Plants will grow even better due to increased nutrients and microbial life at the root zone.
Results
- Environment A (100% Promix):
- Environment B (50% Promix, 50% compost):
- Environment C (50% Promix, 50% compost, plus worm castings and organic fertilizer):
Key Takeaways
- The addition of compost significantly improved plant growth and yield.
- The combination of compost, worm castings, and organic fertilizer led to the best results, indicating the importance of organic matter and nutrients in plant health.
