We created our regolith planting mix.

• 3 parts regolith
• 1 part compost
• 1 part peat moss
• 1/2 part perlite
• 1/2 part vermiculite

We created our control by mixing:

• 2 parts compost
• 2 parts peat moss
• 1 part vermiculite
• 1 part perlite

We planted several different types of potatoes which are labeled as:

1. Potato A as Yukon gold with 4 pots
2. Potato B as red norland with 4 pots
3. Potato C as Harvest blend with 4 pots
4. Potato D as Gold rush with 2 pots
5. Potato E as Sweet potato with 2 pots
