wowowowowwould inserting an air pump tube into the bottom of a pot with soil increase oxygen to the roots? would this mean better growth?
i dunno im high and i just thought of it.
i'll just stick the hose with no stone right into the hole in the bottom of the pot. maybe use 2 small pumps.
why not? air is blowing out it won't clog. it will blow thru the soil. as it does the soil will act as an air stone and spread the air out. don't make me go do it.
Sounds like a potential fire hazard. What if you overworked that pump b/c air can't flow out of the stone once the soil gets packed into it?
Idk though, try it and let us know.
Oh yeah, I remember this thread.
Someone so cheap as to use crap soil likely wont be spending money on air pumps and hoses. Someone doing that would obviously have their priorities out of order.

Seems to work well enough. Or at least, I've never really had issues with root rot. I, too, use copious amounts of pearlite in my soil mixes.
