Growing Martian Vegetables Because I Don’t Want To Live On This Planet Anymore

In a previous video, we created a Mars soil simulant and now we're attempting to grow plants in it. Martian soil presents challenges due to its CO2 atmosphere and lack of organic matter. To compensate, we added urea for nitrogen and vermiculite for moisture retention. Testing kale, carrot, and beet seeds, we harvested microgreens, with vermiculite yielding the best results. Adjustments were made for optimal growth, leading to a successful batch with kale. I did some additional experiments involved incubation chambers and a fun Marsarium. Share your ideas in the comments on what else we could do with this Martian soil. Stay tuned for more Martian adventures!

This is a very interesting experiments. And as far as I could tell, you may be the only channel on youtube other than "The Martian Garden" company, doing such experiments with simulated mars regolith. I hope your able to keep up the testing. Well done. 👍

Man I really want to congratulate you for doing this. I want so hard to create a functional martian terrarium for artistic purposes, please keep doing content about this ill turn on notifications without you asking. Please also tell me that some insects aren't forbidden for that extreme conditions 🙏🏼

This was really cool. I just commented on the other one video that I'd be interested in seeing perchlorate extraction, but Marscrete would also be cool.

A source of potassium and phosphorous to complete the NPK requirements would be needed for anything past the micro-greens stage into fruiting . Cool idea.
