So I have all this free time while I wait for my investors, so I bought a few plants and a turtle and have been reading about and taking care of them. Right now my watering bottle is a water bottle with a hole on top I pierced with a knife. (Like what you would do when using a small bottle of oil.) I have started to shake the bottle vigorously for a few minutes before watering my plants - with the intention of getting the water really oxygenated. Can someone tell me if what I am doing is effective or if it is a waste of time?
