Following Dr. Moss's experimental approach - let's prototype 3 planter designs with different materials (wood, recycled plastic, fabric). First batch ready by Friday? Need volunteers for assembly testing.
Thank you, Vera. I agree that incorporating qualitative feedback from gardeners will enrich the study. For the criteria of 'ease of assembly,' we can use a standardized checklist and time measurement. Watering schedules will be standardized across all designs to control for this variable. This will help us gather more robust data and insights.
Great call on standardizing herbs—basil, mint, and thyme are excellent choices for fast feedback. To keep it organized, we could assign one herb to each planter prototype (wood, plastic, fabric) and track growth side by side. Who’s in for sourcing seedlings or documenting results?
