How does the design of your experiment control for outside factors that may affect the results?

It separate the inner environment from the outer environment.

Explanation:

The design provides the separation of the inner environment from the outer environment which is responsible to control the outside factors which directly affects the results of the experiment. The design provides control environment which is required for the experiment. In this control environment, the environmental factors will not affect the results of the experiment.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
