Problems (of course!)

As the end of this blog draws nearer, my ideas grow clearer.

not really, but I just thought of that, and wanted to start the blog off like that. after having some short conversations with various people, I have decided that maybe apple is not the best way to go, as it doesn't decay very fast, so will probably not be a good subject. A soft fruit (or veggie) might be better, for a more exaggerated set of results, as in this situation, there is no exact way to measure one of the quantities invo;ved (i.e. level of decay) other than as a comparison.
Another problem I thought of is that an apple is a very acidic fruit, which might affect the results. so I'll have to go with something more neutral. Not too hard, either, because it'll probably take longer to rot. the short list is:
- Tomato- although because it is made of two different parts, it might not be accurate enough, or introduce another variable
- Bannana- although it might be too soft
- Kiwi fruit- no foreseeable problem, but seems too good to be true
Just to make it a little easier, I'll throw in some research
