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!
Thanks. Yes I'll keep you updated on Next Level Homestead!
Judy - I’m in D’Iberville
I am praying for you all in California for your safety!!!🙏🕊❤
Thank you
@@chrisbaker5051 you are much further south-I’m in Jones County. Katrina hit y’all extremely hard but she also gave us a lick. Praying we don’t get anything like her for a LONG time! Some rain would be nice but not those winds and tornadoes.
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.
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.
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.
Glad you said that... I'm currently scratching my head over an infestation of white flies on some brocolli... Will immediately try this.
Thank you
I need to remember this I had these and lost all my Brussel sprouts they were huge and beautiful
Would it help a spide plant that is drooping
I'm jealous... I have never been able to get a single plant to grow properly in all the many years I've tried... Brussel sprouts or brocolli... Can't figure it out. Haven't even tried cauliflower. @@tinaharvey356
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
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.
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.
Would love to see you set up a rumble channel too! We're slowly ditching UA-cam but love watching your videos and don't want to miss out ❤
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.
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.
Yup!
4 being water right?
@@MssWinnie correct
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.
Thank you
I’ve use hydrogen peroxide in every imaginable way that you have just discussed! And it really does work!
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.
Would be great to hear if this really works, nothing I've tried on fungus gnats works, they came in from plants given to me from someone's house. I had never had them before, and I lost so many plants. Even tried a super strong toxin that kills mosquito larvae, nothing!
What an excellent video. I just watered my spidermite infested Coffee plant with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water and the soil bubbled and fluffed right up. Oxagen was distributed generously and evenly all throughout! It was like magic :). I sprayed its leaves with diluted alcohol and i bet its feeling better already. Thank you for this video!
I've used it successfully on my mango tree flower panicles that were diseased with powdery mildew. I've seen other youtubers make videos regarding the strength of the solution suggesting to cut the strength by half with water. But for me, half strength didn't work, so the following day I sprayed full strength 3% hydrogen peroxide, which ended up being effective.
Consider my mind blown. I just cut off a ton of melon leaves and totally removed my cuke plants due to extreme damage from powdery mildew. Next time I'll get out the H2O2 and spray as soon as I see it starting. Absolutely great tip!
Praying you stay safe through the storm🙏
Thank you
I added some to my potted Geraniums and they experienced more vigerous growth.
Hilary has started to dump her payload where I'm at (L.A. county), around 5am pst this morning (8/20/23) in the form of a light rain. So far, as of 7 am, no high winds yet, but rain has picked up its pace a bit, nice and steady. Thank you Brian for the information regarding hydrogen peroxide, my husband and I will definitely put it to good use. This too shall pass.❤
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.
Thank you. That means alot
I thought of you, Emily and Noah when the path of Hilary was finally finalized. Hope and pray your homestead and all its inhabitants come out unscathed. ❤❤❤
Thank you
Great and helpful video. I will definitely put this info to good use. You and your family will be in our thoughts that the storm will not do much damage.
Thank you Debbie
This is excellent information! I already use peroxide on stains on clothing. It takes care of pretty much any stain.
Thank you for the informative video. I have used HP in the past but completely forgot about it. I’m wondering if it would revive my zucchini plants which aren’t doing anything this summer. I’ll give it a try on 1/2 my plants and see if it makes a difference. Stay safe. With the onset of Hillary, you’ve been on my mind a lot today. I’m not in hurricane territory but my daughter is and has weathered a few. Thinking of you.
Thank you ❤️
Excellent! I shall give it a try on some cucumbers that have started showing signs of something on the leaves! Great idea also to disinfect seed starting trays! (Just don't use it on cuts/wounds though, as it actually damages the cells and delays healing)
Great video! 👍 Happy Sunday!! 💚
Watched this video twice. Rewatched it to take notes to be sure to have for reference later.
Excellent! NEVER heard of this use. Great video with pictures, etc.
Love this video. Going to share it with my sisters. I’m excited to have another way to help my plants. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Be safe. Blessings ❤️🌺
You and your family stay safe Brian. I'm in LA and we're putting our containers in the garage. Hopefully the chickens will be ok.
Thanks you too
A nurses trick that can be used in the garden is if you cut yourself and get blood on clothes, you can clean them with hydrogen peroxide to get the blood out. But, make sure the clothes are color-fast first.
It's great on red wine stains as well.I had customers that spilled a whole glass of red wine on a white sofa and it took it all out. it did take a couple of treatments but it did the trick!!!
@@tb-yr6wyGood to know! Thank you
Yup, I’ve tried it on tomato sauce, beet juice stains on my white apron and took them both out.
Saliva also works because the enzymes in your spit breaks down the blood
Oh my galoshes I have so much to learn. Thank you for all your videos, they are so helpful for this 1st year gardener.
After using up all my hydrogen peroxide on hand for combatting fungus gnats, I wascdelighted to find it for $1 at big box Wally. I will have to try it on my hollyhocks that have some spotted disease. Thanks!
Prayers for your family’s safety. ❤
Thank you
GREAT ADVICE for using Peroxide in the garden! Thanks Brian!
You bet!
I Used hydrogen peroxide and Disprin when I Transfer plant into Big pots or when I see my plant not taking fully nutritions. For example I give fertilizer today(mustard cake) week spend I am not watch growth in plants so I give my hydrogen peroxide and Disprin mixture. But mostly I prefer week before giving any plant fertilizer this mixture first into soil.
2) When plants like tomatoes bottle Loki I Give these(hydrogen peroxide and Disprin tablet mixture) for much fruit and flower products in plant.
Ingredients
Hydrogen Peroxide 6%(2ml).
1 Disprin/Aspirin Tablet
500ml Simple Tap Water
Quantity I Used in Plant
Mixed these all Above ingredients in plastic container. For 12 inches plant Height tall. 1 Cup/125ml Used twice in month
Brian, such a short video! Be safe! God bless you guys! 💕🤗
Thank you
Does it kill pollinators?
Going to try #6 for my tomatillos that are not doing well.
Wow, I just learned something I never knew. Thank you 😀
Slightly off topic, but you can use a solution containing peroxide to get rid of skunk spray smell on a pet. Use 1 qt. peroxide, 1/4 c baking soda, 1 T liquid dish soap mixed together then wash pet and rinse.
Hi Brian,
Thank you for such good information next season coming up going to try the. HP bath for seed starts. Been watching your channel for a few years
Thank you!
I wasn't aware of ways to use hydrogen peroxide in the garden; thank you! Giving this a try in a root drench.
How did your root drench go?
Thanks :)
@@annbrodzinski5707 It helped significantly with the pest problem I was having in the raised bed. I'll definitely do it again this year should I have similar problems.
I buy food grade hydrogen peroxide (online from Green Sprouts) and then dilute 4:1. It is extremely potent and dangerous before diluting - handle with care. When I divide my dahlias in the fall, I don't bother constantly cleaning my cutting tools, but rather have a spray bottle on hand and spray the diluted 4:1 mix of H2O2 and water onto the cut areas, and actually all over the tubers. I never get any mold or rot on my tubers and don't bother checking on them until it's time to pre-start them in the spring as I know the H2O2 will have done its job.
Also, only the extra oxygen molecule separates, creating an oxygen and a water molecule, the fizzing is from the separated oxygen molecule.
This is good information
Thanks
Great info, Thanks!! Prayers from Louisiana that Hillary calms down before hitting you guys! 🙏🙏🙏
Much appreciated
Hi Brian! Thanks for this great video. Hope the incoming storm does no damage to your area! Keep us posted!
Thank you. Me too
Q? I PRE MOISTEN STARTING MIX, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND USING THE 4x1 SOLUTION TO PRE MOISTEN 2 GALLON BUCKET OF STARTING MIX? Or IS IT MORE EFFECTIVE AFTER FILLING TRAYS OR MAKING SOIL BLOCKS? Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks❤
Great tips, thanks so much. Also wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you with the storm heading your way. Stay safe. Praying you don't see any damage. DJ from Easr Texas
Thank you so much
So you can add this to any vegetable or plant that is struggling?
Yes!
Thanks for the helpful tip!!! Appreciate you!
You are so welcome!
7.) When you cut your finger and press it on your shirt to stop the bleeding, thus blood on your shirt. Soak the effected area with a some peroxide, let it soak in and repeat. Rinse the area with some soapy water, leave it wet until laundry cycle. 😁 I know that's off topic but it does really work.
Pure gold! Thank you
I'll have to use this next year at the first sign because I think mine are too far gone. I treated them anyway just in case they bounce back.
Excellent tips. Thanks.
My husband uses H2O2 for hydroponics when algae starts growing.
Thank you for this. Definitly gonna try these
I wish it wasn't called "damping off" because everyone thinks it's from over-watering, when it's usually more from too hot compost or infected soil.
True
How often can you do the 1:1 root drench on established plants?
Cool - thanks for the Hydrogen Peroxide idea.
Thank you!
Might pay to mention the strength of the H2O2 your using. Most store brought (here in Aus at least) is 3%. Pure H2O2 the way you are describing I think would cause significant damage. Also stay safe. Thinking of you all.
He did say he was using 3%
Thank you
@@DebzZi Thanks, I didn't pick that up.
Great info and very timely!
Glad it was helpful!
Leaf medicine recommendations In agriculture, one spray is effective in treating 😊
Thank you Brian. 🌺💚🙃
You're welcome
does it kill beneficial microbes and fungi in soil? I want to use it in my garden to tackle verticillium wilt
With the soil drench for "root rot", since it is killing bad bacteria, is there significant damage to the beneficial bacteria in the soil?
Thanks, once again!, for a very informative video - never even heard of using H2O2 in the garden. I've been pretty lucky - knock on wood - but now have the info needed to combat pretty well anything. Thought of you and your family when heard about Hurricane Hilary. Are you in its path? I had the impression you're located north of where it's expected to hit. Hope it misses you! Take care and keep safe.
Thank you. Yes we're right in the path
1:58 6 ounce to 1 gallon water
177 ml to 3.78 liter water
6ozs per gallon of water? What is that in ratio terms or how millilitres is 6ozs?
Can you use it on tomato plants ?
Hey! thats some very good info! Never knew a good portion of this !!You never cease to amaze me!
Thanks Mike
Can you use HP on cymbidium roots for rot when repotting?
Yes
Full strength? Also, any other uses with cymbidiums?
You can also dust the roots with cinnamon powder after pruning out the bad stuff. I use it every time I repot. It is a natural antibacterial. Works on people too!
@@kerrycarter9428clever!
Great video, Brian. You guys stay safe. Sending love and hugs to you, Emilie and Noah ❤️🤗❤️🌹🌹
Thank you Rose ❤️
Thank you Brian
I have many seed trays to sow in late September as the terrible heat of summer will eventually reside...

A. One of my orchid grower friends is using hydrogen peroxide against aphids. Spray is diluted 1:10
B:
Chemistry....it is only one extra atom of oxygen. Not a molecule.
Yours..
Mishmish.
From the other side of the world
Thanks for sharing
Kind of messed up and hope I didn't destroy all of my seed trays
I meant to sprinkle cinnamon powder on my newly planted seed trays to prevent damping off and accidentally used cumin powder
Do you think my seed trays are destroyed now or will they be okay?
The seedlings haven't popped yet I just made them
Agggg
Thank you for all this great info 🙏
Just wondering, how's your ankle doing? Hope you still do your Alphabet with it😊❤
Thanks Brian!
Thanks so much!
Does HP also kills earthworm ????
Can I use 6% hydrogen peroxide as i can't get 3% in my locality?
Any idea please!
Brian, does H2O2 help with the powdery mildew my plants get in August? If not, do you have a video that does? Like you, I’m in Zone 10A. Thanks!
Is hydrogen water good for plants? I have a “water bottle” that creates hydrogen water.
Can I use this on tomato worms?
Could you use the one-one for the roots on small Moringa plants? I put them in the ground 3 months ago and they're only 18 inches tall.
Yes. Actually I need to yse it on my Moringa
What dilution for cymbidiums - we get 3% at the store here.
wow thank you!!!
Brian is going to need a canoe or kayak ... or fishing waders and a float tube for this adventure ....
You never mention, or I missed it, how long to soak the seeds as a pre-soak. How long would I soak in before I planted them?
Overnight
@@NextLevelGardeningthank you 😊
Can you add this to bamboo plants?
Yes
So you can add this to soil on any vegetable or plant that looks like it's struggling?
I use hydrogen peroxide on my roses to prevent black spot
Thanks! 👍
You didn't link another video to watch 🤷🏼♀️
Is this good for root vegetables? You talk about giving a boost of oxygen to the roots, I know, but...?
Yes!
Will the hydrogen peroxide help with getting rid of grasshoppers eating up my blackberries bushes?! Help please!
Where do you buy your HP?
Hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial, but don't forget to use h2 0 too.
Fire Blight? !?
how about the 35% solution hydrogen peroxide?
