Conclusion by: Jessica Frick

This experiment concluded that fertilized soil works better when helping plants grow rather than natural soil. This happened because of the difference in the nitrogen content between the two soils. The natural soil was not able to get the necessary nitrogen because it was growing inside a classroom. This shows that when thinking about this in a larger scale, like farmers using this to grow their crops. When the farmers would use the fertilized soil they would already have the necessary amount of nitrogen needed for plant growth. This would allow a slim amount of the plant dying from not having enough nitrogen content. The natural soil however, has to get that nitrogen from the nitrogen cycle which takes more time. This would have a higher risk of failure because of the nitrogen not coming fast enough and giving the plant the nutrients it needs to grow.
