If only I had £10m to spend on a 36 acre greenhouse

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
So how are we going to get more Co2 to our plants?
I've got some plum wine on the go, that makes lots of it. maybe i'll put the bucket with the toms
I had one of those big cylinders about 4ft tall that would last about 1 year.
A pH monitor controlled the amount of CO2 that got dissolved into the tank. It was fascinating to watch the bubbles of CO2 whizzing around the reactors then dissolve into the water - the plants grew like crazy! Each week I'd take out a bucket full of prunings.
I recall the CO2 used in the tomato house comes from the nearby waste water treatment facility

Composting gives off a healthy supply of Co2, but it produces methane too. I'm not sure what the plants would take from that, but it's not what you want a greenhouse full of.
