“With help from compost”? 😏
I’m pretty sure if you remove the moon dirt altogether, the chickpeas would still grow in whatever was left.
lunar hummus incoming i guess.
I doubt that future Lunies will be growing crops in dirt. At best, lunar regolith might make a suitable soilless medium for hydroponic growing. Dumping water, the most precious commodity on the moon, on the ground in hopes that some of it gets to the plant roots isn’t going to happen. Hydroponics recyles the water, poop is better converted to hydroponic nutrients than soil amendment.
Just make sure you get all the moon dust off of them or else they’ll kill ya!
Here i come, space falafel!
You wanna know the difference between a chickpea and a green bean? I never had agree bean on my face.
How radioactive would they be though!?
Launching a ship full of chickpea seeds and eventually our moon will be green
