Description
Publisher's Description of Root-Vue Farm
We have a new soil supplier, Wonder Soil, and they provide much larger individual wafers than the smaller 8 wafers we used to supply (they also have many more nutrients and, in general, are a much higher quality wafer). Sometimes the Wonder Soil wafers come in 2 packs and other times 3 packs. Both have the same amount of soil when expanded. To prepare soil, place wafers in a large bowl or bucket and slowly add up to 4 cups of warm water, stirring and fluffing as you go, then add to the Root-Vue unit.
The radish seeds will be the first to sprout, generally within 3-4 days. Onions and carrots will sprout within a week to 10 days. Keep the bottom basin filled about 1/4 inch of water so that the wicking system will pull up the amount the roots need.
Category Description for Root-Vue Farm
This neat kit lets kids grow a variety of root vegetables in a way where they can watch them grow below-ground! The light and portable self-watering "lab" consists of a thick Styrofoam container with a slanted, see-through plate. Kids fill the unit with soil, plant carrots, onions and radishes, and watch the vegetables develop at a worm's eye-view. The kit contains the growing unit, 2 or 3 grow mix wafers, three seed packets, identification labels, and a 16-page instruction booklet featuring step-by-step directions for use, as well as additional experiments to try. An Oppenheim and Dr. Toy Award-winning product. The corresponding accessory kit contains refill materials, more grow mix, seeds, labels, and an instruction booklet. - Jess
