The beans should be separated into two groups of 25 beans each and potted in the same depth of soil in different pots. Each should be provided with the exact same amount of soil, hours in sunlight, lights and water. 25 of the pots should have compost added to them while the remaining 25 are left without compost. The rate of growth of each plant is then measured per day.
