Soil Fertility Analysis

We did the pH test by filling our test tube with a pH indicator. Then we added three spoons of our soil (.50 grams each). We then mixed the test tube for a minute and allowed it to sit for ten minutes. Then we matched the color of our soil with the pH Color Chart. Our soil's pH was 8. Then we did a Nitrogen test by filling the test tube with nitrogen extracting solution Then we put two spoons mixed it for a minute,removed the cap and waited for the soil to settle. Then we used a piper to transfer the clear liquid in our test tube to another clean test tube. Then we added two spoons of nitrogen indicator power to the clear liquid and mixed it. After we waited a while we were able to see our soil had nitrogen. We did the same steps for phosphorus and potassium except we used a different indicator and color chart for each.

We had low nitrogen, our potassium and phosphorus were high. The idea pH range for the plants to grow are about 6.5. Yes the plants seemed  healthy, this is because we had a good amount of nutrients and our pH was almost perfect meaning the plants growing and that soil should be healthy.
