The idea is that the plants can survive the high Co2 levels but no oxygen will kill of parasites and the like. The problem is its hard for me to get dry ice because i am to young.
Any views on this method? Any other methods?
I feel the dry ice method is more work than it is worth. It will kill many plants off, especially tropicals. I put mine in the freezer for ten minutes, then blow them down with canned air for computer cleaning.
