Effects of Coffee on Plant Growth for a Science Project

Coffee is acidic. Over time, it lowers soil pH, making essential minerals unavailable. Plants initially may grow (nitrogen in coffee), but eventually show pale leaves and stunted growth as pH drops too low. For your experiment, compare coffee-watered peas with plain water controls over several weeks to observe the decline.
