So, if it’s such a great base for plant growth why haven’t we looked further into it? Would be nice to know why it’s so much better so we can adapt the mineral or property to our own gardens.
It’s just such interesting articles/videos as this that keeps me devoted to How-To Geek.
Thanks.

If it’s so good for plants why we don’t have a base on the Moon already?
