No problem with the ignoring me. I know that you are a busy lady.
About the diode.
What @electricme says is true. The diode will use some of the voltage available to work.
I usually use 1n60 that takes less voltage to work.

Good joke !

A NEW EARTH BATTERY. A ROUND ONE
something that looks like this.

I am not an expert on earth batteries, But, I bet it would work even better if you mixed a lot of salt with the rocks between the plates. I think you will also need to put it somewhere that water can get between the plates. If you put a piece of each electrode in a glass of saltwater you will get a voltage between them. But you probably know all of that already.

There are 2 type of electrolyte acidic and alkaline , the earth battery , also needs electrolyte , it mostly use potassium in the ground , slat is not that good for electrolyte , its easy to get but ...

I could suggest fertilizing with a high potassium content .   

I wont mess up the soil.

Good point. Plants do not like salt.
