injecting air into soil

  1. Hey,

    In the process of trying to keep a freshy watered smart pot warm I decided to inject air into the bottom of my smart pot.

    The pump pushes 38 L/min an the air is warm so I figured what the heck, it can't hurt ?

    I used to have all my plastic pots hold air stones and used an aquarium pump so this new pump is a lot better.

    It worked very well with a large 20 ga smart pot where I put a flexible air hose in the bottom and would just attach the air pump for an hr or so every day.

    That plant was a massive sativa :)

    Of course I can't say
    what was the one thing I did right since I tried a whole lot of great organic ideas gotten here at GC !

    But today I just cut a hole in the 5 ga pot and shoved the tube in. It didn't clog or slow the flow unless I jammed it into the other side of the cloth.

    So does anybody else have experience with doing this or am I just as crazy as Baby Yaga ever thought about being?


    I want to thank everyone for all your help.
    The few searches I can find re injecting air into subsoil areas actually uses a slurry of water infused with air. Huh?

    I am not sure though how they got the venturi emmiters rigged to make a water slurry, but that one case showed high increases in fruit production.

    Then again I could be over doing it!?
    It is a chore to keep the plants watered enough and warm now that the cold is here. The pump pushes warm air so I figure it will probably help.

    Go ahead and laugh.
    I am!
    That 20 ga smart pot is great but just too big for my space. If these gals in 3 and 5 ga grow right I might repot a couple into the 20 ga since the air line is already installed.

    :)
