This sometimes caused them to break off the plants and decreased the collected measurement. This experiment could have been improved by having three containers of each of the treatment, as opposed to just one, because it would have allowed a better average to be collected. Thus creating more accurate results. Some new questions that surfaced from the results were, “Is it possible to have so much fertilizer it would begin
