Hello there, I have a somewhat absurd botany question for you.
Imagine I wanted to plant a flower in a pot filled with crushed up cookies. If I watered it regularly, could the plant survive?
Also as a bonus question, do you know what kind of cookie would make the best soil, and what kind of plant would have the best chance of survival?
Thank you, and I'm sorry.
So turns out people don’t just list how much N and molybdenum is in cookies, but here’s something I cobbled up from a few places.
So I THINK, a chocolate chip cookie would have the 17 nutrients needed. Wether a plant can use them in this form, if that’s the right amount or if something in cookies kills them is uh… beyond the scope of this ask. Unless someone else wants to add?
Additionally soil needs inorganic components, the size and texture of ‘parent material’ (weathered rock-> sand, loam, clay) change how the soil is taken up. Maybe cookies would be fine? I think they’d end up pretty tightly packed and soggy like clay which is not ideal. Maybe a dandelion could do it.
I think the cookie that would make the best soil would have lots of nuts, seeds and fruits, since those are like little boxed lunches for baby plants (and animals).
I um, hope this helps? It would be an interesting experiment!
