Control Group

Synthetic Fertilizer

Xtreme Garden MiX

At week two we started testing germination rates and growth of each group. As the results came in, we could start noticing some factors.

SEED BED:
Xtreme Garden MiX created a soft bed for seeds as it was slightly mixed in with the soil through the harrowing process and the blend
contains organic materials that aggregate the soil. In contrast both the Control and Synthetic Fertilizer groups had issues with seeds not
going deep enough in the soil.
Right after the seeds were put down, around day 3-4, the plot was hit by a hailstorm. The beds with the Xtreme Garden Mix were almost
unaffected by this event thanks to the softer bed that is created by Xtreme Garden Mix, while the other two groups suffered losses to
the hail.
