Question:
Do Snow Green pea plants grow faster in a mixture of 25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, or in 75% potting soil and 25% compost?
Hypothesis:
If Snow Green pea plants are grown, starting from seeds in three different ratios of soil to compost (25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, and in 75% potting soil and 25% compost) then the peas that were in the 75% potting soil and 25% compost soil will grow the fastest.

Their optimal pH for growth is a soil that has a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. According to Food and Farm, nitrogen fertilizer is bad for the peas growth and will only result in lots of leaves rather than peas (they already do their own nitrogen fixation and do not need the added nitrogen). Pea plants that are planted with lots of compost should not require any additional fertilizer as all of the nutrients it needs is found in the soil, in addition to water and full sunlight. The NPK, Nitrogen. Phosphorous, and Potassium levels, of the soil should optimally start at 20kg/ha, 45kg/ha, and 25kg/ha respectively The optimal growing season for Snow Green peas is January through May so this experiment will occur in a great growing season for these peas. In addition to the type of plant I will be using in this experiment, it is also important to look at the different ratios of soil that will be used in this experiment. I will be using compost which is a naturally occurring soil made from decomposed materials only, and the other one is potting soil which obtains peat moss, pine bark, and perlite (to provide air
