Question
Im working on a Science Fair, and my grop wants to re-create a volcano eruption. The volcano part is done, but we can't come up with any ideas unto how to cover the entire landscape with tiny forest. I suggested growing real plants that resemble such thing, but i can't come up with anything. Our presentation is in 2 weeks
Any ideas?

Answer

If you can get rye or wheat seeds you could get them to grow and look green. Soak the seeds in water over night, to make them sprout faster. Just cover the seeds and keep them moist to make them grow. Two weeks is a short time but it might be enough.
Good Luck,
Richard
