I am anxious to watch your video after the hurricane moves through your area. Hoping it will reveal everything safe and sound—even if it is wet. Wishing y’all safety from south Mississippi where it is HOT!

I had a mint plant in a large container that was doing fantastic with amazing growth everywhere and all of a sudden it started dying off. I was stumped. Searched on YT and found your video and decided to give HP a try on the soil. What could I loose? My plant was looking like death anyway. I wasnt sure if I was supposed to apply it on damp soil or dry. So i just applied it into dry. OMG. In just one day, I could not believe my eyes. I saw life again. Three days later it is shooting out beautiful leaves everywhere. Im a total believer. A million thanks for your advice.

We use HP to keep a bird bath free of algae. We add 6 oz of 3% HP every time the bird bath is refilled with water. Perfectly safe for the birds and keeps the bird bath pristine.

Maybe im imagining it but i did this and the plants looked more fresh and vibrant than ever after words. Like the green looked greener

I had white flies attacking and killing my seed started pepper plants and used a spray container with 2 tablespoons of HP in a quart of water which totally got rid of the pests and made my plants thrive. I made sure both sides of the leaves got sprayed. Thanks for another fine video, Brian. I hope the storm doesn't hit too hard.

Would love to see you set up a rumble channel too! We're slowly ditching YouTube but love watching your videos and don't want to miss out ❤

I know some of the things that HP is good for in the garden, but forget to use it.I must remember(I am 74).This has been my 2nd Spring/summer to do vegetable gardening.The extreme heat and very short spring is making it very difficult to produce much, but I am definitely learning a lot.I have done organic ornamental gardening for about 23yrs, but veggies require a new body of knowledge.I can’t even express how much I learn and enjoy your videos.I have your book and love it also.

Great video! I love safe and simple ways to help my plants. Another use for H2O2 is to save orchids with black rot. Orchids tend to be more delicate, and many things you can use on other plants will harm orchids. With black rot, you need to cut out the affected area, cutting into healthy tissue to be sure you got all of it. De-pot your orchid, remove all media from the root system, and toss out all of the existing media. Spray your orchid all over, especially on the cut area, with a 1:1 mix of H2O to H202. Wash out the pot with hot water and soap, rinse very thoroughly, and then spray with H202 to finish the disinfecting process. Wait until the H2O2 has completely dried before repotting your orchid. Cover the wound on your orchid with a mix of coconut oil and cinnamon - it should have a consistency similar to toothpaste - which will help to heal the wound and prevent further infection. You 100% can save your orchid if you act quickly and follow these steps. H202 is amazing!

I use this on tomato leaves that are looking "blighty" - very effective. 4-1 ratio.

Excellent! NEVER heard of this use. Great video with pictures, etc.

1 thing I use it for that you didn't mention, I had a artichoke plant that was dying from potatoe bugs. It was just about dead I cut it all back and put a 1 to 1 racial and soaked the soil and I was very surprised the next year to have a very nice healthy plant come back.

I spray hydrogen peroxide on all the roots of our orchids when we repot them. It kills hidden slugs in the roots.

Thank you very much for the information! Perfect timing for this, as I've got a (fungus?) gnat problem in my Greenstalk planter. I treated all of the plants in every pocket at the soil level and spraying the leaves too (followed the dilution ratios for each). Crossing fingers that it helps the bush beans, and saves the lettuces.

[phenixwars]

Awesome video! Very helpful and short so it's an easy rewatch. I hope you guys stay safe from the storm! You were the first one that popped in my mind when I read about it.

[joycebovee]

I’ve use hydrogen peroxide in every imaginable way that you have just discussed! And it really does work!

After you start having fruiting produce (post-flower pollination) - using a dilute solution, spray on the old and dying off flower and petals, which provides a secure and sanitary connection between the growing fruit and the vine branch. The biggest source of initial fungus/mildew/mold is at the vine-fruit connection where the rotting flower is falling of. Spraying the growing fruit (even tree fruits) also provides an antibacterial layer to the fruit and its pores - leaving a mild blech taste to the fruit (cucumber beetles, apple flies, squash beetles, even small tweeties wanting to tear up your strawberry plants, berry plants, orchard, vineyard, and earn a "peroxide tummy." Dealing with (HOT) chicken manure, one can also spray dilute solution onto all the ground berries - and this will start denaturing the hot nitrogen in the manure. Don't forget to also sanitize small livestock (even domestic pet drinking and eating containers. If you have little ants crawling all over - then spraying down their trails and around their nest - will disrupt their poo trail hormone signals. For sheds and houses with wooden structures, diluted peroxide can be sprayed onto moss etc for its control - and dilute peroxide (will also provide a small whitening to such wood surfaces (whereas gray and old wood - with bleach wil turn the old and gray to bright and fresh wood brown (been there, done that). same for eventually old thatchworks.

Watched this video twice. Rewatched it to take notes to be sure to have for reference later.

[djeoutdoors]

Wow, I just learned something I never knew. Thank you 😀

Praying you stay safe through the storm🙏

[Gkrissy]

I used peroxide recently for something eating my okra plant and it stop the pest pressure along with D earth. You and your family stay safe against that tropical storm.
