I am 74 years old, grow a 1/4 acre garden, 2 goats in milk, chickens, 2 cows, and I would love to have a freeze dryer. I have followed your utube channel, used your recipes, gotten lots of ideas about building all sorts of things on the homestead. watching your channel has been a blessing. keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
I’m 65. I’ve gardened most of my life. But got chickens last year for first time. It’s going great. I did get a freeze dryer but having a tough time to get it to work😞
@@kathyjones3165 but I still haven’t had success with my the vacuum pump error. And there’s no service person to come out. You’re supposed to fix it yourself. I’m not mechanical. I’m 65. When I pay 4K for an appliance, I expect to plug it in and have it work. Currently collecting dust 😞
Carollori I had the same experience with harvest right. Poor design. Poor service!! I’m waiting on Fed Ex to pick mine up to return for refund. Had it several months and it never worked! Trash!! Waste of $3,000!!
I use 2 tablespoons of 3% H2O2 per 1 gallon of water in every watering and have amazing results. Healthier plants , more fruit and larger fruit. There are 256 tablespoons per gallon so this is a much lighter concentration application that is beneficial and safe for every watering. The ratios used here are for fixing existing problems. Using 2 tbls/gallon will prevent the problems way before they occur. Great video!!
I had an apple tree that suffered from fungus for years. The main tree died but it had a root sprout up and grew a new main stem. Once it grew to about 6’ I noticed all the leaves had signs of fungus. I mixed 1 bottle H2O2 with five gallons of water and treated the tree once a month thru one summer. The fungus slowly disappeared. The next year I only treated it one time and it produce apples like I have never seen before. Amazing
Thank you for all this info of h202, I loose my tomato plants and zucchini every year. Now I moved to the front of my house, not sure what gets it, I think they get fungus. Can this method be used as a preventative?
I've been adding Hydrogen Peroxide to the water of my cut flowers for years. It will feed the plants and keep the water clear for up to 2 weeks!! I use one or two cap full to the vase depending how big the vase is
I can attest to this on a micro level- as in microgreens. Early on in my micro-ing journey, I spritzed H2O2 water to get rid of algae or mold and I witnessed the freshly germinated seeds spring to life instantly.
I’m also new and I started a garden and my potatoes kept dying and I do not know why. The my start out great and then all of a sudden in a week or so the plant starts dying, the tops die and the potatoes disappear. I have no idea why. I have many pests, squirrels, chickens and rabbits.. not to mention the bugs are so bad in the swamps of south Ga.
@sarahmostacci1154 Just keep at its all trial and error,i planted some sweet potatoes but got nothing yet and I also want to plant some potatoes,it's all a learning process and I'm definitely learning and you'll keep learning as well.. New Jersey.
I LOVE finding information like this from a knowledgeable intelligent person. Entertaining as well. Thank you for doing what you do, it is appreciated ! I’m watching more and subscribed today.
I usually gargle with hot salted water. In the past 16 months though, I've had one sore throat infection after another. I'm going to give the Hydro-Peroxide a go now.
I wash my veggies using water & a little hydrogen peroxide, then package them with a towel a little water + drops of hydrogen peroxide, especially romaine lettuce. Amazing how well it works.
Vinegar is more environmentally friendly. H2O2 is highly reactive and energy and plastic dependant. At least for washing produce. Soak in a 10 percent solution about 5 minutes to 10 minutes and rinse.
@@dandylandpuffplaysminecraf8744 Thanks for commenting ☺Yes I use vinegar too. So anyone else dealing with toxic fluoride in the tap water ? I think wt? I have to use bottled /filtered water to wash the veggies, why would I want to soak organic food in poison fluoride ? I am frustrated !!!!! Bad enough trying to find non toxic expensive organic produce, then that issue. I lost my home with a well during "the Big Short". Looking to see Americas' criminal minions, uh, I mean politicians, to quit agreeing to genociding, we the people ! Fluoride was used as Rat Poison it actually dissolves our bones, causes all kinds of diseases, Hitler used it in the death camps because it makes people docile; explains why people have no backbone and are so apathetic,.Lowers IQ, is an Endocrine Disruptor; so people gain weight & get sick, calcifies their Pineal Gland which is the tuner to God/Source. Have a look at these facts, the front page says a lot, check out the pages on diseases it causes, please tell everyone you know too🤗. Public Water should be clean !!!!! Why are we paying to be POISONED ⁉ fluoridealert.org/
@@CherylWhitestone Have you sent your tap water to a lab for analysis? If not, you should do this. There's more fluoride in your toothpaste than in your water. Best to get a lab report.
@@CherylWhitestone I have to assume that you didn't get a lab report on your tap water. If you did get a lab report, what was the listed fluoride value. I did go to the link, and it will take awhile to decifer it. Thanks.
Thank you for your advice. I asked your opinion of best way to deal with root rot in a poor struggling tree - gardenia. I asked the frequency of 1:10 application of 3% to it. The two "trunks" of what was left of the tree, I could not reach with my longest finger the holllowness and soft fibrous material up the stems. So I sprayed up the centre of the trunk +++. Would you believe only after the first application, before a week was up, the central part of the stem had HEALED!!...just about 5 cms of hollowness left. Amazing! The tree knew best...it had grown more surface roots and the root base below the ground had rotted away. So I'm spraying that void too. The main cause was a built-up garden bed which I've levelled as best as possible and allowed drainage. YOU HAVE SAVED THIS TREE...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
I use to help with stinky drains. One to two cups of 3% H2O2 at night (so it won't get washed away) really seems to help. It doesn't help with clogs, but when you hear that fizz coming out of the drain you know it's killing microbes down there.
As usual, you are right on time to rescue my plants!! Just yesterday I noticed a prolific bell pepper was drooping, 😭 Aphids! Now I know- thanks to you it will get a 4:1 solution tomorrow. There's 1 lizard trying valiantly to eat them all, but it's 'that' time in South Florida.He needs backup! Thanks again Jeff!
I just purchased a few herbs two that have problems I did not catch. They are now in my windowsill, I treated their soil with 3% peroxide. Sprayed with neem oil and picking off the infected leaves. I consider it an opportunity to try to save them, and experiment. Thai basil, Lemon Balm and Sweet basil. The others are planted and doing great.
Make sure whatever you use, does not poison the lizard. I know dogs cannot handle peroxide without some major problems. Example, Horny-toads are dying off because of ant poison making their meals toxic.
Some of my houseplants suddenly were attacked by aphids in February. Ladybugs were migrating through the house. )))) I put several of them in the pots and very soon NO aphids were visible. The ladybugs dove into the pot dirt to finish off the ones underground. Everybody happy )))) except the aphids.
i can't tell the difference any longer between ladybugs and Asian Beetles. They look so similar. So, no ladybugs are allowed in my house. Their twin Asian Beetles stink!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'm doing the aeration today, then the pest control after. I'm also soaking the seeds for my fall garden hoping for better results. Thank you. Btw, recap is much appreciated.
Will it harm the caterpillars? We are mindful of swallowtail and monarch caterpillars. I’ve noticed my swamp milkweed has a fungus; the fungus is bad for the caterpillars too so not sure what to do
Hydrogen Peroxide can also be used to remove blood stains. Just like it helps with cleaning a wound if you get blood onto your clothing or carpet just pour it on and watch it do its stuff. Wait about 15 minutes then blot with a cloth. Reapply until stain is gone. I use full strength for this.
You can also use it to loosen up compacted ear wax😃 Put a cpl drops in, keep your head tilted for about a minute or so then gently wipe it out. Wearing earbuds can cause a wax buildup 🙁 Just thought I’d mention it sense a lot of ppl are working from home now and probably using ear buds.
Try and warm it up a little bit, cold liquids in ears is excruciating. I put a little peroxide in a little dish, then run warm water over the side of the dish, don't get the water in the peroxide. It feels so much better than room temp liquid.
My sister has double hearing aids and her audiologist suggested that she not put anything smaller than her elbow in her ear to clean it. She suggested hydrogen peroxide,so we both started using it once a month, it works!
I just started using Hydrogen Peroxide this year in my ornamental pond. The algee I fought last year is non-existent this year. After watching this video, I've been having issues getting grass to grow in a section of my yard... I'm going to give this a try there too.
@@FrugalFlyRodder Would you use a smaller amount for smaller ornamental ponds? My brother in law has a terrible time with algae in his pond. It's not as deep. I'll let him know about this. Peroxide is a really versatile and cheap solution to a lot of things, not just wound care. I use on house plants when the dirt smells moldy.
hello there :) I love gardening. However, I always failed to grow nicely and many times the plant I grow are rotten or dried up. I started again when I watched your YT channel and it's very informative when it comes to growing indoor plants. Now, I am taking care of one successful basil in a container. Thanks for guiding new gardener like me.
I just got it (H202) a week ago and water (root) my indoor plants and they’re doing tremendously well “growth wise” Epson Salt however, watering is doing incredible unbelievably well 😳 esp. on my indoor garlic grown overnight faster and better than my outside garlics. Awesome info. Thanks 🙏🇨🇦
Very informative. I’ve had all the garden woes you mentioned; with getting certain seeds to germinate being especially troublesome. Thanks for the tips.
Hydrogen peroxide is cytotoxic. That means it kills cells. Latest research shows, when it is applied to fresh wounds, it kills your healthy cells as well as bacteria and actually *slows* the healing process because it does even more damage to the wound when applied.

I grew my first garden in many years this summer. I have dealt with every pest imaginable, that visits a vegetable garden. I tried many things. A friend of mine talked about H2O2 but we didn't have the specifics on how to use it. So, I am very pleased to find you. I am hoping you will help us both end our gardens on a good note. We both have had good crops but have struggled with the pest. Thank you for your information. I will let you know how it ends.
One channel here has a woman who uses tulle, bought from eBay, big swath for about $11. She covers plants to keep pests off, and found it also keeps squirrels away because they get their nails caught in it so they hate it. Very interesting, cheap, and non-toxic for the plants & foods we grow.
@@ginakelley749, or containers. It's also great to use for protecting young plants, giving them the chance to grow without birds, squirrels, etc., messing them up.
Food Grade Diatomaceous earth, kills small insects, can be had at feed stores in bulk, Tractor supply has it, animals & people can eat it, also keeps grains bug free.
Right on Jean! Remember, store-bought seeds have already likely been treated with it.....this will be more useful for your own saved seeds! Still, it does give even cleaned seeds a boost and will protect them from fungal outbreaks in not-so-clean soil!
I soaked a dozen weak & spindly slow-growing japanese boxwoods' soil with a 50/50 dilution. 1 week later I watered soil with just a hint of organic molasses & they all busted-out with lush, strong, green foliage & are growing fast. Many compliments from neighbors.
Yeah, I'm really testing it on a lot of inside stuff right now...where I'm using a sterilized potting soil anyways and not worried about preserving the beneficial microbial life.
In soil it will kill your biosphere along with harmfuls, not for soil!!BadMF good for cleaning hydro systems pots as any residues will be just extra oxygen a good thing rather than chlorides(bleach) ask any botanist you meet
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms you should worry it is what breaks down nutes for plant use do a side by side see the difference for yourself everything online isn't true.BadMF
Thanks for your video. Everybody else was talking about the benefits but no one was telling the ratios to use. The slide at 7:27 is what I needed. Just bought Hydrogen Peroxide so will give it a go.
After 1st spray, I found little caterpillars drop dead. After 48 hours, my basil plants are looking much healthier and are standing more upright too. Same with mint and coriander plants. Thus solution works!!

Wow! Super tips! I just bought a neem solution for fungal issue on a young holly tree but am hesitant to use it because inhalation can be dangerous. Hell with that. Going to spray the tree with hydrogen peroxide. Thank you so much.
New gardener here! Been struggling with powdery mildew (apparently I like eating fruits and veggies that address susceptible to it 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️) all last year, and already seeing signs of them this year. Definitely can't wait to give this simple solution a try!!!
You may wish to add boric acid with it. Mix the boric acid with warm water in a separate container, let it sit a couple hours so excess settles. Pour the boron solution into your sprayer and add the H2O2.
Powder sulfur is used for powdery mildew, on grapes, and many other plants, apply as needed, its safe fertilizer also needed by plants and soil health, good luck
Thanks for sticking to your deal. Appreciate the tips and no politics. Anyhow, a bit off topic, but, my wife had dental issues, she used Hydrogen peroxide, as a "mouthwash'", worked well for her, so got to be good for our vegetable buddies.
Ha ha thanks CM! No politics or trending things like the virus.... Just gardening, that's my promise. Thanks so much for the support! I wonder how peroxide works for whitening??
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms According to her "dental" folks, it worked for stopping her supposed bone decay. Not sure about making our choppers white, , but it is an excellent item, for many uses. Have you tried Cherokee Purples?

Thanks for video.. very helpful... I saw videos last month about germinating mango seeds in plastic bags..they used hydrogen peroxide diluted in water to spray onto the seed before placing in baggie to prevent mold..
Awesome Rhonda...its VERY handy for those large seeds with lots of fruit still left on them...it really helps to combat the mold and fungus! Well done!
I used a soaked cotton swab of hydrogen peroxide onto each of the scales to pull them off. I kept at it every day until there’s no more. I also repotted removing the majority of the soil and threw the old soil out. My plant was small at the time.
@@rreimer9320That's a great idea to use a q-tip on small plants. I would have to spot spray. My gardenia bushes are 3'x6' , too big to use a q-tip on. Thanks for the tip.
I will definitely be trying this to get rid aphids. I have always had this problem no matter what I used in the past. I had worked for a nursery that used Murphy oil and dish soap, mixed with water. It never worked well. We spayed at least once a week faithfully. They loved her honeysuckle. At my house it's the broccoli. I quit planting it.
My plants were already eaten when I came across this last year. I may experiment with it a little more this year. Sounds like most people here had great results but my trees are big. This year I bought three praying mantis egg cases two have already hatched. Over 100 eggs per case. I guess a lot of them don't survive to adults. They are great entertainment for the grandchildren too.😂
This is not for the garden but it also works awesome by spraying it on the walls and floor of your shower and glass doors to clean. Just spray on wait 15 minutes and rinse and then maybe a second time, but if done often, doubtful.
I am so grateful for the information that you give to us! I've tried sprouting wheat berries for my chickens so that they can have fresh greens in the winter. Each time I try to sprout them, (despite rinsing them several times per day and using proper drainage/airflow), the sprouts develop pathogens. I've been looking for a simple method to disinfect the berries before sprouting them! I'm going to try hydrogen peroxide! Thank you so much!!
I watched and did this. I think some of the color of my pink hibiscus flowers have been made lighter, as a result of using hydrogen peroxide on the potted hibiscus. I think it did help in ridding the soil of gnats.
Good video, I'll be trying this for sure! Hydrogen Peroxide is a staple in my first aid kit, in our bathroom cabinet and in my workshop. Negligible cost & it doesn't go off. Pour it over any cut no matter how big. This gets it sterilized quickly. Speed in sterilization is vital.
@@maribellelebre6809 Too true - I should be more careful with my terminology. After an operation they used to pour this into the body cavity. They now have more advanced disinfectants. Hydrogen peroxide does damage the surrounding tissue a little as you no doubt know. I figure it's a small price to pay to get instant disinfection of smaller wounds. I keep it on hand because it never goes off like so many other disinfectants. Thanks for the correction :-)
Open wounds should not be treated with hydrogen peroxide. Especially puncture wounds. It kills the surrounding tissue and seals it off, and can do more harm than good. Minor scrapes and abrasions can be safely treated with hydrogen peroxide.
Especially for organic gardeners, I would suggest purchasing food grade Hydrogen peroxide as opposed to standard hydrogen peroxide that is a petroleum product. Great video! Thank you!
It's very nice on fruit that's a bit wilted. Wash it & sprtiz with 3% FGHP, set it back into the fridge 15 minutes & viola, fresh fruit. Or better fruit anyway, blueberries & grapes love it. As a test, I tried with lettuce from an unfinished Hamburger. It had been wilted from the heat of the Hamburger, I pulled it off the bun & laid it on foil, inside the Styrofoam take out box, spritz it w 3% diluted fghp & folded the foil down so it was in a v shaped foil pocket, unsealed. That lettuce leaf looked fresh the next day. better than when I laid it on the foil. Usually I just pitch the lettuce & tomato before refrigerating. Good stuff.
@@jacksonbrown2827 small health food stores sell FGHP 30% strength. (Sometimes stores keep it refrigerated, or behind the shelf) Dilute FGHP 30% at home with DISTILLED WATER. 1oz HP into 11oz H2O, store resulting 3% HP solution in _opaque_ container. [my Pyrex measuring cup has oz & cups opposite sides] Feeding plants I use a dropper of 30% into the watering can. Plants go green like after a natural rain.
Your always best when mixing peroxide to use distilled or at least RO water since it reacts with chlorine in tap water for the most out of your peroxide
I was wishing I could have taken notes faster. Was delighted to see the printed recap with uses and dilutions at the end. Thank you! I am going to use hydrogen peroxide for a few garden issues this year.
I started thinning my nectarines today and found black eggs clustered on many branches. It looks like the tree is sealing them in with sap. I panicked and started chopping them off. I'm glad that I stopped and came to UA-cam. Thank you so much, I'll try this ♥
H2O2 has so many uses I'm learning! Thank you! Will try this. We're starting our first gardens and your videos are helping so much! Thank you. My 4 year old likes your videos the best 🤣👍🙏
Love this video. Would you please explain the mixing ratios in layman's terms. Like is it an ounce? A cup? How do we mix the hydrogen peroxide with the water?
@@joelp9050 As example, a 1:10 solution means one part Hydrogen Peroxide and 10 parts water or whatever you're using. So if you are making gallons, its 1 gallon Hydrogen Peroxide combined into 10 gallons of water. Same if you are making teaspoons of liquid, 1 teaspoon Hydrogen Peroxide added to 10 teaspoons of water. You decide how much total liquid you need. Just don't change the ratios he lists for each type of plant. Just pouring them into the same bottle is enough.
My Lemonsito in a pot have yellowish leaves whilst the other pot is all healthy green. I also can not successfully grow small olive cutting/twiglet I have tried many times with rooting powder.
@@joelp9050 take the ratio, any ratio, and mix the peroxide in x amount of parts with x amount of water. I start with the water first. If it's 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water, they put 1 liter of water in a container, then 250ml of peroxide. That's it.
I used it to kill algae in my fountains and ponds (without fish). I use it to whiten my teeth and kill bacteria below the gum line that can cause gum disease. (I’m 60 years old and have only had one filling in my entire life and no other dental ailments).
So, what would be the ratio for a hose end sprayer? I’d like to spray both my garden and my lawn for fungus. I have lots of mushrooms in my garden and have had some fungus problems in the lawn. If I set the hose end sprayer to 2 tablespoons per gallon of water, would that be sufficient?

Gotta be fungus gnats.....especially in new soil, and especially indoors or in greenhouses. I hope this works, it really did for me! Report back with your results! :-)
So I’m just wondering does all this apply to marijuana plants and if I’m putting peroxide into the soil, it’s not going to kill any of the beneficial bacteria‘s or bio life? Also, I know this sounds weird but what if you only have 30% peroxide (obviously dilute it) but I feel like it might just be better to go by myself some 3%

That's a great story! I am glad you saved your apple tree.
You're aware fungus mycelium creates H²O² to fight the surrounding bacteria
Did you spray the foliage and trunk or just watering the soil?
Thank you for all this info of h202, I loose my tomato plants and zucchini every year. Now I moved to the front of my house, not sure what gets it, I think they get fungus. Can this method be used as a preventative?
I've been adding Hydrogen Peroxide to the water of my cut flowers for years. It will feed the plants and keep the water clear for up to 2 weeks!!

Glad you liked it Ivy, thanks for watching! :-) 🌶🍅
I can attest to this on a micro level- as in microgreens. Early on in my micro-ing journey, I spritzed H2O2 water to get rid of algae or mold and I witnessed the freshly germinated seeds spring to life instantly.
Yeah sounds really good,I'll be using it from now on,I just started container gardening 2 weeks ago so I need all the valuable information I can get..
I'm new to gardening. Your channel is God-sent to me! So precise and informative without unnecessary talking. Thank you so much!
Hey, thanks for that!! Much appreciated! :-)
Then Don't use h202 watering plants!!!
I'm a newbie also (2 weeks container gardening) and this guy is really good...
I’m also new and I started a garden and my potatoes kept dying and I do not know why. The my start out great and then all of a sudden in a week or so the plant starts dying, the tops die and the potatoes disappear. I have no idea why. I have many pests, squirrels, chickens and rabbits.. not to mention the bugs are so bad in the swamps of south Ga.
@sarahmostacci1154 Just keep at its all trial and error,i planted some sweet potatoes but got nothing yet and I also want to plant some potatoes,it's all a learning process and I'm definitely learning and you'll keep learning as well.. New Jersey.
I did try it and it works ! There were a couple of pepper plants looking miserable with pests, and now they are alive and blooming. Yays !
I LOVE finding information like this from a knowledgeable intelligent person. Entertaining as well. Thank you for doing what you do, it is appreciated ! I’m watching more and subscribed today.

I gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide right when I'm beginning to get a sore throat and it works great! Kills every bug you have.
Right on Cedric....what % strength?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3%, I think, usually does the trick. Just don't swallow!
I usually gargle with hot salted water. In the past 16 months though, I've had one sore throat infection after another. I'm going to give the Hydro-Peroxide a go now.
@@loverlyme let us know if it actually works!
Be sure it is the food grade if you gargle with it.
Believe it has an FDA approved label.
I wash my veggies using water & a little hydrogen peroxide, then package them with a towel a little water + drops of hydrogen peroxide, especially romaine lettuce. Amazing how well it works.
Vinegar is more environmentally friendly. H2O2 is highly reactive and energy and plastic dependant. At least for washing produce. Soak in a 10 percent solution about 5 minutes to 10 minutes and rinse.
@@dandylandpuffplaysminecraf8744 Thanks for commenting ☺Yes I use vinegar too. So anyone else dealing with toxic fluoride in the tap water ? I think wt? I have to use bottled /filtered water to wash the veggies, why would I want to soak organic food in poison fluoride ? I am frustrated !!!!! Bad enough trying to find non toxic expensive organic produce, then that issue. I lost my home with a well during "the Big Short". Looking to see Americas' criminal minions, uh, I mean politicians, to quit agreeing to genociding, we the people ! Fluoride was used as Rat Poison it actually dissolves our bones, causes all kinds of diseases, Hitler used it in the death camps because it makes people docile; explains why people have no backbone and are so apathetic,.Lowers IQ, is an Endocrine Disruptor; so people gain weight & get sick, calcifies their Pineal Gland which is the tuner to God/Source.

@@CherylWhitestone Have you sent your tap water to a lab for analysis? If not, you should do this. There's more fluoride in your toothpaste than in your water. Best to get a lab report.
@@CherylWhitestone I have to assume that you didn't get a lab report on your tap water. If you did get a lab report, what was the listed fluoride value. I did go to the link, and it will take awhile to decifer it. Thanks.

Thank you for your advice. I asked your opinion of best way to deal with root rot in a poor struggling tree - gardenia. I asked the frequency of 1:10 application of 3% to it.
The two "trunks" of what was left of the tree, I could not reach with my longest finger the holllowness and soft fibrous material up the stems. So I sprayed up the centre of the trunk +++. Would you believe only after the first application, before a week was up, the central part of the stem had HEALED!!...just about 5 cms of hollowness left. Amazing! The tree knew best...it had grown more surface roots and the root base below the ground had rotted away. So I'm spraying that void too.
The main cause was a built-up garden bed which I've levelled as best as possible and allowed drainage. YOU HAVE SAVED THIS TREE...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
I use to help with stinky drains. One to two cups of 3% H2O2 at night (so it won't get washed away) really seems to help. It doesn't help with clogs, but when you hear that fizz coming out of the drain you know it's killing microbes down there.
Good tip, thanks! :-)
Try baking soda and vinegar for the clog.
@@trekketoo Anything's better than harmful chemicals!
What's the point of that?
Could use Clorox àlso. It's probàbly cheaper
Excellent! I almost never make a comment on youtube, but this is the very best discussion of gardening peroxide use I have ever seen!!
Hey thanks Pamela, that really means a lot!! Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
As usual, you are right on time to rescue my plants!! Just yesterday I noticed a prolific bell pepper was drooping, 😭 Aphids! Now I know- thanks to you it will get a 4:1 solution tomorrow. There's 1 lizard trying valiantly to eat them all, but it's 'that' time in South Florida.He needs backup! Thanks again Jeff!
Ha ha go lizard!! Best of luck Patricia, you got this! 🙂
I just purchased a few herbs two that have problems I did not catch. They are now in my windowsill, I treated their soil with 3% peroxide. Sprayed with neem oil and picking off the infected leaves. I consider it an opportunity to try to save them, and experiment. Thai basil, Lemon Balm and Sweet basil. The others are planted and doing great.
@@karenreaves3650 that's the right attitude Karen! Let us know if they make it!
Make sure whatever you use, does not poison the lizard. I know dogs cannot handle peroxide without some major problems. Example, Horny-toads are dying off because of ant poison making their meals toxic.
Some of my houseplants suddenly were attacked by aphids in February. Ladybugs were migrating through the house. )))) I put several of them in the pots and very soon NO aphids were visible. The ladybugs dove into the pot dirt to finish off the ones underground. Everybody happy )))) except the aphids.
I love lady bugs more than anything!!
Lol
You were lucky to have lady bugs when you needed them most. Wonder how to attract lady bugs to a garden ?
@@SwtTrisha8 we use to buy ladybugs from a gardening store along time ago
i can't tell the difference any longer between ladybugs and Asian Beetles. They look so similar. So, no ladybugs are allowed in my house. Their twin Asian Beetles stink!
Thank you so much for this advice, it’s a great alternative to pesticides which can harm the bees and other beneficial insects.
Exactly! And its not systemic like other chemicals that sit in your soil and plant tissues....continuing to poison! Good stuff.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'm doing the aeration today, then the pest control after. I'm also soaking the seeds for my fall garden hoping for better results. Thank you.
Btw, recap is much appreciated.
Will it harm the caterpillars? We are mindful of swallowtail and monarch caterpillars.
I’ve noticed my swamp milkweed has a fungus; the fungus is bad for the caterpillars too so not sure what to do
Hydrogen Peroxide can also be used to remove blood stains. Just like it helps with cleaning a wound if you get blood onto your clothing or carpet just pour it on and watch it do its stuff. Wait about 15 minutes then blot with a cloth. Reapply until stain is gone. I use full strength for this.
I need to try this stuff! What about for laundry as a safer alternative to bleach?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I’m definitely not sure about that but it sounds like an interesting experiment lol.
@@kattsremedies4308 already on it, lol! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I can confirm it will replace bleach but you need quite a bit more. 2 or 3 cups in a full load of laundry, then soak overnight.
@@girlnextdoorgrooming in trying it tonight! Seaweed stains is the project!

@@HOLLYHOUSE11 3%
It's OK to spray and leave on or rinse off then eat?
You can also use it to loosen up compacted ear wax😃 Put a cpl drops in, keep your head tilted for about a minute or so then gently wipe it out. Wearing earbuds can cause a wax buildup 🙁 Just thought I’d mention it sense a lot of ppl are working from home now and probably using ear buds.
Lol, whatever works!
Try and warm it up a little bit, cold liquids in ears is excruciating. I put a little peroxide in a little dish, then run warm water over the side of the dish, don't get the water in the peroxide. It feels so much better than room temp liquid.
I've been doing this for my kids for years
My sister has double hearing aids and her audiologist suggested that she not put anything smaller than her elbow in her ear to clean it. She suggested hydrogen peroxide,so we both started using it once a month, it works!
@@phyllo2694 nice phyllo!
I am a newby to aquaponics and fighting pests can be hard. I am so excited about this method. I cannot wait to try it. THANK you.
I just started using Hydrogen Peroxide this year in my ornamental pond. The algee I fought last year is non-existent this year. After watching this video, I've been having issues getting grass to grow in a section of my yard... I'm going to give this a try there too.
Right on, best of luck! Report back with your success!
be careful if u have fish need some for health
@@kingspal99 I'm talking about string algee, there are other plants that doing fine. The only fish I have in there are bluegill and they'll do fine.
What size is your pond and how do you use the peroxide/how much?
@@FrugalFlyRodder Would you use a smaller amount for smaller ornamental ponds? My brother in law has a terrible time with algae in his pond. It's not as deep. I'll let him know about this. Peroxide is a really versatile and cheap solution to a lot of things, not just wound care. I use on house plants when the dirt smells moldy.
hello there :) I love gardening. However, I always failed to grow nicely and many times the plant I grow are rotten or dried up. I started again when I watched your YT channel and it's very informative when it comes to growing indoor plants. Now, I am taking care of one successful basil in a container.

5 Bangin' Tips For Spring Garlic Maintenance! Join me on Wednesday at 11am PST (2pm EST) as we go over the things we can do to ensure the best Garlic harvest this summer!:
ua-cam.com/video/33r-4g4PaW8/v-deo.html
I grew my first garden in many years this summer. I have dealt with every pest imaginable, that visits a vegetable garden. I tried many things. A friend of mine talked about H2O2 but we didn't have the specifics on how to use it. So, I am very pleased to find you. I am hoping you will help us both end our gardens on a good note. We both have had good crops but have struggled with the pest. Thank you for your information. I will let you know how it ends.
One channel here has a woman who uses tulle, bought from eBay, big swath for about $11. She covers plants to keep pests off, and found it also keeps squirrels away because they get their nails caught in it so they hate it. Very interesting, cheap, and non-toxic for the plants & foods we grow.
@@debbiedogs1 but very time consuming as well! It's ok, if you just have a small space.
@@ginakelley749, or containers. It's also great to use for protecting young plants, giving them the chance to grow without birds, squirrels, etc., messing them up.
Food Grade Diatomaceous earth, kills small insects, can be had at feed stores in bulk, Tractor supply has it, animals & people can eat it, also keeps grains bug free.
Does it help with giant zebra slugs like 3 inches long 😳?? That is my issue right now with cucumbers and flowers 🤬🤷
Great info. Can't wait to try my seeds this coming spring with H2O2!
Right on Jean! Remember, store-bought seeds have already likely been treated with it.....this will be more useful for your own saved seeds! Still, it does give even cleaned seeds a boost and will protect them from fungal outbreaks in not-so-clean soil!
Your gardening techniques are easy to understood, keep it up.
I soaked a dozen weak & spindly slow-growing japanese boxwoods' soil with a 50/50 dilution. 1 week later I watered soil with just a hint of organic molasses & they all busted-out with lush, strong, green foliage & are growing fast. Many compliments from neighbors.
Wow Bill, that's great to hear!
😂
Very interesting ! I knew about the disinfectant properties but not the aeration.
Yeah, I'm really testing it on a lot of inside stuff right now...where I'm using a sterilized potting soil anyways and not worried about preserving the beneficial microbial life.
In soil it will kill your biosphere along with harmfuls, not for soil!!BadMF good for cleaning hydro systems pots as any residues will be just extra oxygen a good thing rather than chlorides(bleach) ask any botanist you meet

You may wish to add boric acid with it. Mix the boric acid with warm water in a separate container, let it sit a couple hours so excess settles. Pour the boron solution into your sprayer and add the H2O2.
Powder sulfur is used for powdery mildew, on grapes, and many other plants, apply as needed, its safe fertilizer also needed by plants and soil health, good luck

@R Reimer. What ratio do you use when spraying the scale. They're on my gardenia bushes. The scale killed the bushes last summer. Thanks 😊

Right on Rico, it really is useful stuff!
Loved your video.
Especially loved that you showed a summary that I could screen shoot and save. So impressed I just subscribed😀
Hey thanks for that Jim. Super appreciated!! :-)
I will definitely be trying this to get rid aphids. I have always had this problem no matter what I used in the past. I had worked for a nursery that used Murphy oil and dish soap, mixed with water. It never worked well. We spayed at least once a week faithfully. They loved her honeysuckle. At my house it's the broccoli. I quit planting it.
I hear you man.... They attack my Brassicas like nobody's business here!
How well did it work??
My plants were already eaten when I came across this last year. I may experiment with it a little more this year. Sounds like most people here had great results but my trees are big. This year I bought three praying mantis egg cases two have already hatched. Over 100 eggs per case. I guess a lot of them don't survive to adults. They are great entertainment for the grandchildren too.😂
This is not for the garden but it also works awesome by spraying it on the walls and floor of your shower and glass doors to clean. Just spray on wait 15 minutes and rinse and then maybe a second time, but if done often, doubtful.
Nice, thanks for the tip! :-)
Great tip! Do you dilute, and if so at what ratio?

I am so grateful for the information that you give to us! I've tried sprouting wheat berries for my chickens so that they can have fresh greens in the winter. Each time I try to sprout them, (despite rinsing them several times per day and using proper drainage/airflow), the sprouts develop pathogens. I've been looking for a simple method to disinfect the berries before sprouting them! I'm going to try hydrogen peroxide! Thank you so much!!
Did it work???
I watched and did this. I think some of the color of my pink hibiscus flowers have been made lighter, as a result of using hydrogen peroxide on the potted hibiscus. I think it did help in ridding the soil of gnats.
Good video, I'll be trying this for sure! Hydrogen Peroxide is a staple in my first aid kit, in our bathroom cabinet and in my workshop. Negligible cost & it doesn't go off. Pour it over any cut no matter how big. This gets it sterilized quickly. Speed in sterilization is vital.
Right on, best of luck with your garden this year!
Hydrogen peroxide will disinfect, but it doesn't sterilize
@@maribellelebre6809 Too true - I should be more careful with my terminology. After an operation they used to pour this into the body cavity. They now have more advanced disinfectants. Hydrogen peroxide does damage the surrounding tissue a little as you no doubt know. I figure it's a small price to pay to get instant disinfection of smaller wounds. I keep it on hand because it never goes off like so many other disinfectants. Thanks for the correction :-)
Open wounds should not be treated with hydrogen peroxide. Especially puncture wounds. It kills the surrounding tissue and seals it off, and can do more harm than good. Minor scrapes and abrasions can be safely treated with hydrogen peroxide.
Especially for organic gardeners, I would suggest purchasing food grade Hydrogen peroxide as opposed to standard hydrogen peroxide that is a petroleum product. Great video! Thank you!
It's very nice on fruit that's a bit wilted. Wash it & sprtiz with 3% FGHP, set it back into the fridge 15 minutes & viola, fresh fruit. Or better fruit anyway, blueberries & grapes love it.
As a test, I tried with lettuce from an unfinished Hamburger. It had been wilted from the heat of the Hamburger, I pulled it off the bun & laid it on foil, inside the Styrofoam take out box, spritz it w 3% diluted fghp & folded the foil down so it was in a v shaped foil pocket, unsealed. That lettuce leaf looked fresh the next day. better than when I laid it on the foil. Usually I just pitch the lettuce & tomato before refrigerating. Good stuff.
Where you get the food grade one? I never seen b4
@@jacksonbrown2827 small health food stores sell FGHP 30% strength. (Sometimes stores keep it refrigerated, or behind the shelf)

Interesting! Thanks for that! More uses the better!! Full strength?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I use the 3% one full strength for disinfecting purpose yes .. same as disinfecting the garden cutting tools
Love your channel and appreciate your shared knowledge. I will say that hydrogen peroxide is not odourless. I can smell it without trying
So true...I don't disagree. I can smell it too. Hard to describe though....

OMG! I love your voice! It makes me so happy!
Thanks Kathleen! You're awesome! Have a great weekend. :-)
Thank you, useful information without a lot of chatter which is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for that! I try more for pure information, rather than vlog style of 50-million "garden updates", LOL. Cheers!
Never heard about it, but I ll check it out.Sounds great, thanks for the recommendation.
Cheers, thanks for watching Arnd.
I was wishing I could have taken notes faster. Was delighted to see the printed recap with uses and dilutions at the end. Thank you! I am going to use hydrogen peroxide for a few garden issues this year.
Right on Diana, best of luck with your garden this year!
I appreciated the recap too. Like icing on a cake.
@@sherrythackrey270 Thanks Sherry! I find it always helps.
I started thinning my nectarines today and found black eggs clustered on many branches. It looks like the tree is sealing them in with sap. I panicked and started chopping them off. I'm glad that I stopped and came to UA-cam. Thank you so much, I'll try this ♥
Cheers VonDa! :-)
H2O2 has so many uses I'm learning! Thank you! Will try this. We're starting our first gardens and your videos are helping so much! Thank you. My 4 year old likes your videos the best 🤣👍🙏
Companion Planting.....employ the buddy system in your garden for insane results!: ua-cam.com/video/FPpVNsB1VC4/v-deo.html
Love this video. Would you please explain the mixing ratios in layman's terms. Like is it an ounce? A cup? How do we mix the hydrogen peroxide with the water?
@@joelp9050 As example, a 1:10 solution means one part Hydrogen Peroxide and 10 parts water or whatever you're using. So if you are making gallons, its 1 gallon Hydrogen Peroxide combined into 10 gallons of water. Same if you are making teaspoons of liquid, 1 teaspoon Hydrogen Peroxide added to 10 teaspoons of water. You decide how much total liquid you need. Just don't change the ratios he lists for each type of plant.
Just pouring them into the same bottle is enough.
My Lemonsito in a pot have yellowish leaves whilst the other pot is all healthy green. I also can not successfully grow small olive cutting/twiglet I have tried many times with rooting powder.
Do I water plants with diluted 1 is to 10 water part. Also I kept buying Slug pellets as leaves are being eaten by snails and slugs.
@@joelp9050 take the ratio, any ratio, and mix the peroxide in x amount of parts with x amount of water. I start with the water first. If it's 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water, they put 1 liter of water in a container, then 250ml of peroxide. That's it.
I used it to kill algae in my fountains and ponds (without fish). I use it to whiten my teeth and kill bacteria below the gum line that can cause gum disease. (I’m 60 years old and have only had one filling in my entire life and no other dental ailments).
Nice Sheila, love it!
Hey Sheila, I do the same thing ! I have been using peroxide for about 25 yrs now and with great results!
@@carolynemurray6686 thanks for sharing Carolyne!
What is the ratio for the fountains? thanks
Iodine works wonders as well...
So, what would be the ratio for a hose end sprayer? I’d like to spray both my garden and my lawn for fungus. I have lots of mushrooms in my garden and have had some fungus problems in the lawn. If I set the hose end sprayer to 2 tablespoons per gallon of water, would that be sufficient?
I'm learning soooo much about cinnamon, H2O2 & Epsom Salts to use in the garden & flower beds! Thanks for mentoring us 🍅 🌼🌹🌻🌱🍓🌽
REALLY APPRECIATED THE RECAP CHART AT THE END OF THE VIDEO. THANK YOU!
Thanks Susan, all the best! :-)
Happy Memorial Day Weekend my US friends. Time to plant your Tomatoes....final video in the series is now out!: ua-cam.com/video/lxfsGpe9f6A/v-deo.html
Very good video Indeed 👍
Sir, you get right to the point and with lots of good information ! Some people on you-tube go on and on with so much unnecessary talking that it makes the listener want to scream and say, "CMON get with it, we are waiting!!!😵🙄 THANK YOU for a great listening and learning experience....I will be back!!!!!I I'm hitting the subscribe button 🔘
I'm with you. When a youtuber yaks and yaks, I get my info elsewhere. Sometimes I don't have time to listen to their life story before getting to the actual info.
Thank you thank you thank you! Very kind of you to say Carolyne. :-)
You are so right. Some presenters mean well, but boy can they ramble on.
Me too.
You are amazing! You've saved my garden thank you!!!! I'm going to the store to buy some more hydrogen peroxide today! ☺
Right on, best of luck! :-)
Got all sorts of gardening problems so I'm gonna try this and come back for more.
Best of luck Leon....hope it helps!
I’m going to try this with the spider mites I got in my tomato garden, thank you so much!
Best of luck Thabang! :-)
Oh my goodness, this was right on time! I have a huge problem it appears all of my plants start off really nicely in within a week or less the leaves start to accumulate theses Beach spots all over the leaves and when I move that leaves there are tons of little flies they’re not white flies and they’re not black they like a sandy color I noticed you’re coming from the soil although I buy new soil still I’m gonna give this a try thank you so much for your time and generosity in sharing with us all
Gotta be fungus gnats.....especially in new soil, and especially indoors or in greenhouses. I hope this works, it really did for me! Report back with your results! :-)
I use it in a 1x4 ratio in spray bottle all the time , even as a pervenitive. we bring bugs into our grow rooms on our shoes and clothes.
Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable knowledge, you explained everything with scientific approach👌
Cheers Ramesh, appreciate the kind words. :-)

I also put it in my fish pond to kill the green moss

Using peroxide in garden
J u
So I’m just wondering does all this apply to marijuana plants and if I’m putting peroxide into the soil, it’s not going to kill any of the beneficial bacteria‘s or bio life? Also, I know this sounds weird but what if you only have 30% peroxide (obviously dilute it) but I feel like it might just be better to go by myself some 3%
I thankful for the information you have shared. It will help me greatly as I pursue my backyard gardening. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Maria, best of luck!
Well done..calm but enthusiastic delivery by the commentator!
