right. But, it's text-book stuff: Growing plants need CO2, carbon
dioxide. Would it increase their growth to provide more CO2? How might
this be done?
The most obvious thing to do is to use a CO2 cylinder, feeding the CO2
through a regulating valve. Is suitable equipment available at
reasonable cost?
There is some equipment he

IIRCC tomato growers enrich to around 1,000ppm.
Very informative - but American! An ocean and a tarif barrier away. I
wonder if there are British or even Dutch equivalents - I could
stumble through languages.
