LandLife: The Remedy For Clay Soil

1. What is LandLife?2. What are the benefits of using LandLife?

LandLife is a revolutionary solution for the problems caused by clay soil. LandLife uses modern technology to oxygenate high-density clay soil, balance ph levels and microbial activity. This results in a much more granulated soil. In addition, LandLife is very easy to use; just mix this coffee colored liquid with water in a ratio of 1:500, then apply to the soil. LandLife is a 100% environment-friendly problem solver for clay soil.

The granulation causes significant

changes to soil properties, resulting in

healthier plants.

1. Roots can grow deeper and wider which allow them to thrive in abundance with great health

- Accessibility of water, fertilizer and

nutrients from the soil is greatly

increased

- Savings of up to 50% in water and

fertilizer costs

2. Better water penetration

- Elimination of excessive water run-off

- Inhibition of moss and fungus

- Elimination of accumulated salts

About LandLife

3. How does this formula work on clay soil?

4. Who manufactures LandLife?

Scientific explanation and evidence

1. LandLife’s concentrated formula ionizes water

2. This ionized water neutralizes the charge in clay particles so they no longer attract water molecules

3. The neutralization of the charge in the soil releases excessive water and trapped nutrients

4. This process creates an oxygen-rich environment which balances ph levels while maintaining healthy microbial activity

5. This converts the soil from clay to a granulated form

6. The improved granulated soil allows plants to grow more robustly and abundantly

health?

Statement of the Problems Product Review: LandLife

Successful gardening and maintenance of a

healthy garden is difficult to achieve in clay soil

due to its heavy consistency especially when the

soil gets dry. Clay soil also causes poor drainage

and is noted for high acidity. Because of these

problems, clay soil inhibits the healthy growth of

plants.

1. The heavy consistency of clay soil inhibits the growth of roots which fail to achieve a healthy depth and width. Plants will be hindered in their ability to intake available nutrients and incapable of reaching their full growth

2 . Bad drainage accelerates the growth of

unwanted moss and fungus in the yard

Positive effects of the product named LandLife are listed

by the manufacture company with the following points:

1. Provides formation of granulated soil.

2. Removes accumulated salts from soil

3. Normalizes ph level in the soil

4. Suppresses harmful bacteria

5. Enhances activation of fertilizers

6. Reduces use of water

(Earth Science Products Corporation. 2008).

Because of the above effects, the following explanation is

provided by the manufacturer:

1. LandLife changes the form of clay platelets into a more granulated form so that roots can grow abundantly. Plants are then able to absorb necessary nutrients better

2. The granulation also helps water drain better and inhibits the growth of moss and fungus

Part 1

Methodology

Hypothesis:

Given the product information by the manufacturer, LandLife should change the form of clay particles to a more granulated form. Therefore, plants can grow more abundantly, due to the growth of roots. This granulation also contributes to good drainage, which minimizes the growth of unwanted moss and fungus.

This experiment addresses the following questions:

1. What differences are observed in the growth of

strawberries when one start of strawberries is planted in

untreated soil and the other in soil treated with LandLife ?

2, If any, what differences are observed on the beds?

3. Does this experiment support the information given by LandLife?

The hypothesis for Q 1 is that the strawberry start planted in

the soil treated with LandLife will show more positive

growth due to the improvement of the soil compared to the

plant growing in clay soil.

The hypothesis for Q 2 is that the beds of the treated soil will

show less growth of unwanted moss and fungus, if any.

if the hypotheses for Q 1 and 2 are confirmed, the hypothesis for Q 3 will also be

confirmed.

Procedure:

1. Conduct a shake test to investigate the presence of clay in the soil

2. Loosen the soil with a hoe then treat with LandLife that has been

mixed with water in a ratio of 1:500

3. Put the untreated soil and the treated soil into separate cavities of

a planter. Plant one strawberry start in each cavity

4. Control the amount of plant food and water

5. Leave them in a natural setting a while, and observe the

differences between two plants when they mature and grow

strawberries

Materials:

1. Untreated clay soil from Portland, Oregon and the clay soil

treated with LandLife and water in a 1:500 ratio

2. Two cylinder- shaped transparent plastic containers

3. Two starts of strawberries

4. A handmade planter (13 by 18)

5. All purpose Plant Food (1 tsp. per 1 gallon)

6. Camera

Berries are larger, greater in quantity,and healthier

Berries are fewer in quantity and thelargest berry looks unhealthy

Observation of the beds

Grasses and moss are observed growing in the bed

Significantly fewer grasses and moss are observed

Part 4: Conclusion

This study attempts to answer three questions. The first explores the positive effects on the strawberries planted in the soil treated with LandLife. It was hypothesized, based on the information given to Landlife by the manufacture company, that the strawberry planted in the treated soil will grow better. In accordance with this hypothesis, results showed that the positive effects on the strawberry planted in the treated soil by LandLife were confirmed. The berries, leaves and roots of the strawberry plant grown in the treated soil were significantly more abundant than those grown in the untreated soil

In relation to the granulation of the soil and good drainage and its positive effect on the beds, the second question investigates the effect of LandLife on the beds. It was hypothesized that the treated beds inhibit the growth of moss and fungus. Results confirm the hypothesis. It was observed that the beds not only inhibited the growth of moss but also that of grasses. No fungus was present in the test samples.

In accordance with the above results, the third hypothesis is also confirmed. This study agrees with the product information of LandLife:

1. LandLife changes clay soil to a more granulated from of soil, which plants can grow more abundantly, and

2. Such soil inhibits the growth of unwanted plants, such as moss and grasses.
