Re: Re[2]: Aerated water improving plants' growth

Hello all,
        There is a fertilizer, Oxygen Plus, which enhances the amount of oxygen
taken up by the roots of a plant.  The oxygen keeps the roots from
drowning, even in situations where they most likely would.  Hydroponic
gardening would not be possible without the stuff.  Anyone wishing to
experiment, sans pond, can try using Oxygen Plus.
