GROWING PEAS IN DIFFERENT SOILS We are going to grow peas in five pots. Each pot will have a different kind of soil. That way, we can see if some soil is better for growing peas than other soil. Mark each pot by putting a number onto each one with a color crayon. Put garden soil, from outside, into pot number 1. Ask an adult to help you measure the correct amounts, and put a mixture of garden soil and fertilizer into pot number 2. Put garden soil mixed with one-fourth the correct amount of fertilizer into pot number 3. Put garden soil mixed with one-half the correct amount of fertilizer into pot number 4. Put garden soil mixed with three-fourths the correct amount of fertilizer into pot number 5. Make a list that tells the mixtures of soils in each different pot. We will plant three pea seeds in each pot. Make three little holes in the soil with your finger, and drop a pea seed into each of the holes. Cover the seeds with soil, and gently push down the soil over the seeds. Put the same amount of water into each pot. Water the seeds very gently so they won't be washed away, and use just a little water, so that the seeds won't rot. Whenever the soil seems dry on top, gently add a little water. In a week or so, little green stems will grow, and one or two leaves will grow right at the tops of the stems. Measure the stems with a ruler, and write down, on your list, the size of the stems in each of the five pots. Be sure the number on your pot is the same as the number on your list. Measure your plants every week. See which kind of soil is best for growing peas.  Any problems with this page? Send URL to
