Solution #1

We have decided to grow a new plant but we would still be growing the radish in case the new plant fails. We have taken our past failure as a step closer to successfully grow either our Radish plant or the new one that we have not decided on. Research on the new plant is still on going. We realised we made some mistakes that caused the failure of our previous plant and thus, we have a better knowledge of farming.

Our Mistakes:
1) Over-watering
2) Choosing the wrong soil
3) Not having organic pesticide to ensure that there would be no aphids eating away our plants

Problem #1

We recently encountered a problem that we are currently trying to solve. We just discovered that there are aphids, termites and a green layer covering more than half of the surface of the soil, that we suspect to be moss, in our the potted setup.

Problems:
1. Leaves withering
2. Leaves turning white
3. Numerous aphids in soil
4. Moss growing
