Indeed.. quicksilver could be used in a 'garden installation'. A chinese king did this many years ago (supposedly), with rivers and small lakes in the palace garden filled with quicksiver. Must have looked great. Nowadays not 100 percent 'RoHS-conformal' but a better use for old thermometers than disposal in the garbage bin. Start collecting ! :o)

I remember a suggestion in 'Rothammel's Antennenbuch' to enrich the soil with copper sufate (!) which I certainly don't recommend.

Oh yes, copper sulfate is not to be recommended. Quicksilver should work much better ;-) I think 100 liters is fine for a first test ;-)
