Cheap home-made C02 | | Hi all,
i wasn't sure if someone has already written a thread about home made C02 so here it goes, to make home made C02 you will need :- Bakers yeast, Sugar and tap water.
To begin you can use an empty drinks bottle (i use a 1.5 litre bottle), fill it with 3 quarters water and add Bakers yeast (powdered or solid) i use solid as you can get it from most bakeries free, and add 2 teaspoons of bakers yeast or 1 packet of powdered yeast and add 2-3 teaspoons of sugar and screw the lid on (its important that the lid is air tight) and leave it for about half an hour, once it has been left alone for half an hour go and give it a shake and hopefully you should be able to see bubbles in the bottle.
Remove the lid and make a hole in the centre of it (approx 1-1.5 cm) and screw the lid back on, there you go you now have home-made C02 just place the bottle below you plant pots, after 7-10 days the process will have to be repeated from scratch.
Hope some will find this useful
Peace out
