In the beginning of our experiment it started off by collecting soil from Madelyn’s garden. When collecting our soil, we tested the ph levels and learned that our soil needed an increase in nitrogen levels to help in the growth of our lettuce seeds which was the final part in our experiment. We had toContinue reading “Conclusion -Jessica”

This project started a bit iffy with confusion and jumps with what my group members and I need to start and be able to end with. The soil that was provided was from my backyard. I thought it was going to be enough but as time went on, we realized we needed more soil soContinue reading “Madelyn’s Conclusion”

For a month long we studied soil and the factors that have to be taken into consideration to be able to achieve the growth of crops. We learned the necessary nutrients and pH levels that plants need to be able to grow. In our project we decided to increase the levels of nitrogen within ourContinue reading “Conclusion: Valeria Mencia”

The measures we took in the soil remediation process were that we needed to increase the nitrogen within our soil. Our group decided to use unused bags of tea to increase nitrogen levels naturally. We used exactly 4.5 grams of unused tea for each pot of soil. We added the tea after we planted theContinue reading “Remediation”

Based on our results of the tests we did to our soil sample we have come to the conclusion that our soil lacks nitrogen and has a stable amount of the nutrients, phosphorus, and potassium. The ideal pH range for the growth of plants falls between 5.5 and 7.0. Many plants are able to adaptContinue reading “Soil Fertility Analysis”

In this image, Madelyn was creating an aluminum tray to place our soil and be able to weigh its mass and collect data. In this image, Valeria was collecting our soil and putting inside a 100mL graduated cylinder and filling it up to 60-70ml of our soil sample. The sample also consisted of leaves/grass thatContinue reading “Images from testing our soil”
