Lightning does not really occur in some of the most lush areas, such as Oahu, Hawaii. There is not enough land mass.
I thought it is the dissolved oxygen in rainwater that is the big boost. Acid rain affects the dissolved oxygen. I have heard you can add a little hydrogen peroxide to your water for a small oxygen fix. Plants seem to really like it. I worried that along with oxygen I was killing bad bacteria...which is ok too! But a chemical does not know good bacteria from bad and down the road was I causing a bigger problem?
So I am unsure what to do.
May gardening bring much joy and happiness to you!
