Increasing CO2 around outdoor plants

[starchild]

:: For great outdoor growth rates, I've always had great success with this.

 

When the plants are established out the back, take a bucket of kitchen compost and make a pile near the plant(s), like a mini compost heap.

 

Cover with straw or lawn clippings.

 

The plants receive extra local CO2 from the decomposition, exrta nutrient and some acididity, which they love.

 

Happy growing!

The plants receive extra local CO2 from the decomposition,

CO2 is heavier than air so it would not be doing much at all for the plants, the plants would love the mulch though.

 

and some acididity, which they love.

As long as you don't already have an acidic soil, it pays to keep an eye on your PH levels.
