We started the planting process!!

It has been two weeks since our last blog post and we started the planting process of the seeds. We first had to find two boxes to grow our plants. One of these boxes would serve as our control and the other our experimental variable. Our control box contains dirt almost 3/4th of the way and we laid seeds on the top bed of the dirt. The variable box has shredded newspaper about 1/2 way through and dirt about 1/4th of the rest of the box. We planted seeds on the upper layer of the dirt. The main difference in the boxes is that the variable box is going to act as a compost bin. We are waiting will the plant grow a little bit before we put in the worms. We are doing this because we don't want the worms to eat the seeds even before they grow.
We have yet to create lids for our boxes which came without a lid. We were going to do that with duct-tape and then makes holes in it so the worms can breathe. We don't need it right away because we haven't put the worms in the variable compost bin.
Although it rained the past couple of weeks our plants have yet to grow but because it will rain the following week we really hope the plants grow to about 5 inches so that we can put in the worms. We water the boxes every day once.
The seeds we used include tomato seeds, pea seeds and spinach seeds.
