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

In a message dated 97-06-14 16:32:04 EDT, you write:

<< I've got a lot of tomatoes (about 8 different varieties) growing nicely
and
 could offer to "water" one of them with nothing but club soda for the rest
 of the season while the plant of the same variety growing adjacent to the
 soda-drinker would get regular water.  If the clubber died, it wouldn't be a
 tragedy, and doing that with all other variables held constant would give us
 some more info.
 I'm tempted to try it.  Should I?

It sounds like agood idea, but what about rain? and I think I remember club
soda having salt (NaCl??) in it or something, so maybe plain old boiled water
would work. When you make tea, they always say to use fresh water because the
O2 in it makes the tea taste better, but the water sitting in the pot that
may have been boiled or had a large surface exposure to air would be "flatter
tasting".  Wish I had one of those old fashioned carbonation guns my folks
had when I was a kid, they used to have little Co2 cartridges that would
bubble up whatever you put in it, that might be the ideal way to trial
it....can you imagine fizzy fish emulsion????  "we will sell no kelp before
its time..." hehehe
