Has anyone heard of Electrolysis Water Agriculture or Gardening?
Everyone must know electrolysis, but not many people kow we can get acidic and alkaline water from that.These two "functional water" are great help for organinc agriculture and gardening.
I am writing about this in Wiki, but will take sometime to finish it. In the meantime, if anyone want to ask question, please do. It is very interesting and effective concept of the use of water as sterilizer and enhancer.
I just checked out your wiki article on electrolysis water agriculture. I hadn't heard about it. Are there any potential negative human health impacts of using acidic water on the plants?
Thank you for your question. The answer is ABSOLUTELY NONE.
Your question represents one major concern of most people who hear "pouring acidic water on the plants", because it gives an image like pouring hydrochloric acid on the plant.
The amount of electron is the biggest difference between drinkable faucet water and acidic water produced by electrolysis. Acidic water is just the regular water in a stage of extreme lacking of electron. (To be precise, chlorine content is probably 0.1ppm higher than faucet water, pottasium ions and also low level of HClO are included.)
Because of lacking of electron, acidic water takes electrons away from anything it touches, and turn into just a regular water. Since the energy source of bacteria and viruses is electron, they die very quickly (within 30 sec.) when their electrons are taken away. This is why acidic water is absolutely non-toxic to human, animal and plants (which are covered by thick wall), but a real killer to bacteria and viruses.
This feature, however, limits its effectiveness; i.e. acidic water works only on the surface unless large amount stays at one place for extended time. So, it is highly effective to prevent disease from plants, but not effective once disease occurs and goes inside the plant.
The basic concept if EWA is to prevent disease with acidic water, and enhance growth with alkaline water.
I hope I answered your question, and explained the reasons. If not, please ask me more questions.
Just to add few more information.....
EWA is simple and rather easy to apply anyone's farm and/or garden, but it still reruies lots of know-hows
and do-hows. EWA has it pros and cons just like any other thing.
There is no chance of making mistake with alkaline water, but application of acidic water requires more attention, because some plants are more sensitive to acid than others. Acidic water does give stress to plants.
For instance, eggplant is very sensitive to acid. Do not sprinkle acidic water at night, cloudy or rainy day, because acidic water stays on leaves and stems extended time. It needs to evapolate quickly.
A basic method is to sprinkle acidic water and alkaline water 4-7 days interval alternatively. But, those acid sensitive plans may need release from acidic water earlier; i.e. sprinkle alkaline water next day or 2-3 days after aprinkle of acidic water.
There are quidelines for many plants in Japan, which may be differet from those in the USA. It is always recommended to test it in a small area to see how plants reacts.
I have just finished completing WIKI article about EWA. Please go and visit to understand what I am introducing.
