Earth & Grow Increases Pepper Yield by 145%
This past summer, Will Gasner, a student at Brown University,
conducted the first independent university experiment using the Earth
& Grow system. With guidance from Fred Jackson, director of the Plant Environment Center,
he recorded a 145% increase in yield!
Will selected 20 identical pepper plant seedlings and divided
them into 2 equal groups. One group was grown using the Earth & Grow
system and the other group was not. Both groups were grown with the
same soil mix, fertilizer, watering schedule and growing environment.
Throughout the summer, the pepper plants that were plugged in grew more
healthy and strong, appearing to be much more resistant to the hot
temperatures and high humidity conditions in the greenhouse. Check out
the photos below for the best side by sides of the experiment. The pepper plant on the right was grown using the Earth & Grow system.

I did a similar experiment last year using 2 xmas cactus plants. I was tired of them not blooming. I kid you not when I tell you, the plant that was plugged in with the earth and grow system is still blooming! I’m sold.
