The Secret to Successful Gardening is Oxygen Updated: 9/10/2007 12:05:36 PM Print Article Email Article           (ARA) - Whether you have an extensive greenhouse or a small container garden in your home, you want your plants to do well. Common knowledge tells us that plants need water, sun and nutrients to flourish. But according to recent studies, surprisingly, there is another crucial element for successful gardening: oxygen. Oxygen in a plant's root system can significantly affect the overall health of the plant. Getting oxygen into the soil and to the roots not only helps improve the strength and size of a plant's root system, but also it's ability to absorb water and nutrients. Now there's a simple and innovative new way to put this knowledge to work in your house and garden -- the Enki watering system. It's a revolutionary way to water your plants with extra oxygen that can produce vibrant results. This watering pitcher creates the extra oxygen a plant root system craves by super-oxygenating tap water. The pitcher plugs in and within seconds begins the oxygenation process that can be observed by the tiny air bubbles being produced in the water. In about five minutes the oxygen level of the water reaches up to 150 percent, far surpassing the oxygen levels in tap water or even that of rain water. Tests conducted by Dr. Bud Markhart at the University of Minnesota's Department of Horticulture reveal the system's substantial benefits. The oxygenized water produced 28 percent more petunia flowers and 58 percent more peppers on average. Geraniums had 76 percent more flower weight on average and tomato plants yielded 22 percent more tomatoes. Duane Hastad can vouch for the value of oxygenized water. He is owner of three nurseries, including Heather Nursery in Montevideo, Minn. He utilized the oxygenation watering system in his greenhouse and almost immediately got results. "We started tomato plants from seeds and they germinated in six days, twice as fast as seedlings watered with city water, and they also came up straighter and had better root systems," Hastad comments. Hastad says that he now has better plant products to sell. He also began to carry the Enki watering pitcher in his store and has had very positive feedback from his customers who use it. "If it doesn't work, I am going to hear about it," adds Hastad. "And, people are seeing the benefits."
