Soil regulates nutrients: Nature's recycling system

Manage your own crops

Whether you have a garden, take part in a community gardening project, or prefer to stay indoors, you can start by experimenting with growing maize plants digitally. The game “Nutrients for Life” provided by seedsurvivor.com, lets you supply your crops with water and the essential nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Pay attention to how these resources gradually are used up as your plants grow.

Of course, real plants depend on many more factors than these four resources alone. Like any model, the game simplifies reality, but it offers a fun way to explore how nutrient availability influences plant growth.
