Does Nitrogen stay in recovered rainwater?
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2018 11:36 am
is there any benefits to bottled rain water? or are the benefits realized when it rains. Meaning: would rain water remain nitrogen rich water if bottled?

I read an article where they took the water out of rain and ended up with ammonium and nitrogen and other solids.

Perhaps that miniscule amount is enough for Carnivorous plants since they don't like alot of nutrients.http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/lib/brochures/nitrogen.pdf i posted this link a few posts back. if you look on page 3, there is a map of the nitrogen that fell from rainwater in 1978. (im sure there is much more nitrogen in rain today.) if you look at the article, a few paragraphs up on the right, it says Ohio got 7 kilograms per hectare or 6.2 pounds of nitogen per acre. In fly trap country, according to this map, there are some of the highest concentrations of nitrogen in rain.
