Abstract
Growing plants have always been a part of human nature. It is shown from the smallest fruit to the largest tree. With the state that the world is in most people will have to resort to growing their own food and may not know what to do. Moreover, people will have to learn and possibly learn fast. Things can be grown in any condition in some cases the best things can be grown in the right conditions. There are many different factors that go into growing plants. The main thing taught in elementary school was that plants need air, water, space, and sunlight. But what if that were to change? What if plants were grown close together? What if there was no sunlight to help? Things are constantly changing from the smallest insect to the biggest mountain. But what if how we grew plants were to change? That all was tested throughout the research that the poster will go into more detail about.
