Hydrogen Peroxide Perks Up Garden Plants

I know that I’ve mentioned using hydrogen peroxide mixed with water to water your plants before. But I used it a little differently this time.

On the page ‘Many Uses of H2O2′ I suggest that you put 1/2 ounce  food grade H2O2  per 1-gallon of water. That works great for house plants and gardens.

You know how at the end of the gardening season the plants start to die but they still have veggies or fruit on them? Well, that’s what was happening last week in my garden and I wanted to keep the plants alive long enough to harvest the few cucumbers and beans that were still growing.

So I increased the amount of H2O2 just a little. I added almost a full ounce of the 35% to a gallon of water and misted the plants as well as watered the soil.

The plants did not return to their original healthy state but I have been able to leave those veggies out there for a week now because the plants have lived. I’m sure I would have had to pick them before now if I had not done that because they were literally dyeing.

So, depending on your plants and how healthy (or sick) they are you may want to try the increased dose.

Spring Cleaning with Hydrogen Peroxide

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time to open up the windows and do your spring cleaning!

Hydrogen Peroxide makes a wonderful cleaner. It is, of course, non-toxic and all natural. Even the new “Green” cleaners you can buy now are not as “Green” as Hydrogen Peroxide.

Give it a try!

Use 1 cup of 35% (not 3%) hydrogen peroxide mixed with one gallon of water makes a great disinfecting solution.

You can use it for almost all of your disinfection needs. Use it to wipe down kitchen counters, to mop the floor and wipe down the interior of the refrigerator (kills the organisms leading to spoilage).
You can use it to sanitize the toilet bowl and as an overall bathroom cleaner. Bathrooms tend to collect microorganisms, this mixture will kill them.

Since diluted hydrogen peroxide is non toxic you can use to wipe out the children’s lunch boxes or even clean baby toys.

Overall it is great for eliminating kitchen odors.

Please do not use on fabrics before testing a small swatch. Hydrogen peroxide can be used as a whitener, therefore it may lighten or whiten a fabric.

Used Hydrogen Peroxide on my Dog

Yup, I did. I used Hydrogen peroxide on my dog.

A few weeks ago I noticed this thing that looked like a pimple on his abdomen. It wasn’t difficult to keep track of because he loves to have his tummy rubbed!

This ‘thing’ went through various stages. After a couple of weeks it was looking much worse. I knew it needed to popped or lanced or something. Sorry, I know this is kind of gross.

I’ll spare you the gory details. Suffice to say that after the fluid was removed I wanted to disinfect the area. So, naturally, I used hydrogen peroxide. I applied it a few times right after the ‘thing’ was gone. That is a few times within 5 minutes.

I was concerned because there was an indentation where the thing had been, almost a hole. So I was worried about infection. But how do you keep a band-aid on a dog?

Anyway, I’m happy to report that the spot has healed completely!

So, just keep in mind that you can use H2O2 when you pets get boo-boos too.

Fall Cleaning/ Gardening

In my part of the country we are experiencing our Indian Summer.

This is usually a trigger for me to do some cleaning. We have already had a taste of the cold which reminds me that I don’t like to do certain things outside when it is cold. Ok, I don’t like to do much of anything outside in the cold!

Anyway, a good thing to do this time of year is get your garden ready for next year.

Here’s my tip regarding hydrogen peroxide: Use it to clean your garden tolls. It will kill the bad bacteria that you can accidentally introduce into your garden soil. Just put some Hydrogen Peroxide or H2O2 and water in a small bucket like a 2 gallon mop pail. Then just dip the tools in it (or soak them if you like) and wash them with a rag or sponge or however you normally wash your tools.

The hydrogen peroxide will not harm your tools and you do not have to worry about chemical residue on the tools ending up in the garden soil.

You should do this from time to time throughout the summer as well.

Also, as stated in the page Many Uses of H2O2 you can add hydrogen peroxide to water when you water your plants. It is great for the soil.

So whether you are cleaning up the garden or the house or just enjoying the fall weather don’t forget to use peroxide!
