 | Used CO2 question |
Babelfish          Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003    | Can the mixture from a DIY co2 system be used for anything  I think I though I remembered reading somewhere that it could be added to the garden or houseplants (not that I'd use it for houseplants  )? Or should I just dump it down the drain ?^_^  |
