Fascinating! This reminds me of William J. Beal's seed germination experiment that started in 1879 [1]. Beal buried seeds in several glass jars, and then dug a glass jar every five years and planted it to see if it would grow. To extend the experiment, the period between planting was extended to once a decade, and then once every two decades to lengthen the experiment.
