Conduct an experiment by growing lima bean plant in pots containing 1.rich organic soil 2. sand and dirt. We are going to document the observations every day and present it to the class/school to raise awareness about the importance of rich organic soil for our future.

Join the movement with Sadhguru. Become an Earth Buddy. Update: The Project Lima Bean - Save Soil was successful. The conclusion was plants need rich organic soil to grow and thrive. Soil that is eroded and lacking in nutrients and reduced to sand does not help in plant growth. This shows the importance of having a rich organic soil for the next generation. Presentation was done in the class to raise awareness and take steps to save soil.
