A completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments: top garden soil, top forest soil, commercial compost and a mixture of top garden soil, top forest soil, commercial compost at a 1:1:1 (v/v) ratio replicated four times was used. The results showed that top garden soil significantly (p0.01) increases plant growth in terms of plant height. Moreover, no significant (p& Copyright@ International Science Community Association
