Gardening for kids experiment can be done effortlessly!
When you have tried the earlier long lasting organic potato container water garden project; you may love to conduct an easier project for the lower primary school kids.
We used to peel off the potato skin when we are preparing them for meals. And the peels would be either put into the kitchen waste; or in the vegetable compost.
Do you know you can use them to create an amazing
gardening project for your school children?
Gardening for Kids Activity

Potato peels with minimum one bud are able to sprout naturally when they are supplied with air, light, moist and heat.
If
you are a vegetable gardener; you may already knew that several pale long roots would be shown above ground in the spring; when they were
left underground during the last season.
However, they could grow into a
long tail when they are given more time and space.

When the root could not stand straight with its length; and you cannot provide a taller container; you can guide it into a circle (picture 18); they would be pretty happy to stay at the bottom of the container.
You can also place them on mineral stones (picture 19) for indoor decoration.
This project was ended in about 2 weeks after 28th March 2012. The
plant has eventually melted totally in the water; due to a long period
of soaking and the nutrients were fully used-up.
This Gardening for kids idea can also be introduced to a group of seniors.
