I love the "it's a chemical" comment people love to use as a catch all for "bad" and i loved your approach to handling that type of statement.

[@rogerfoster3997]

most people today don't know the difference between chemicals, toxins & elements on the periodic table & thus use the term "chemicals" to describe every undesirable bad thing, as oppose to say synthetic chemicals, petrochemicals, forever chemicals, not realizing that the Chemical designation today is merely a mathematical expression of its construct. when I was in school we were taught that "chemicals" were human made extractions in various combinations, elements were naturally occurring constructs that could be isolated & combined to make different "chemicals" synthetic biology was the practice of artificially producing elements similar to those found in nature the general purpose being to manufacture synthetics cheaper than extracting natural resources for the chemicals used in the mass production of products & to own the patent on those synthetic elements & the chemicals they have created as it is illegal to patent nature but its not illegal to patent a synthetic copy of something in nature then tell the public that harvesting nature is unsustainable & bad for the planet so you need to switch to our patented product for a sustainable future & now with genetic engineering these mad scientists are trying to own all life on the planet demonizing everything natural & normal as bad for the planet & unsustainable so we have no choice but to buy their patented garbage.

How did you get rid of the gnats?

[@AdMBandLeader]

Hydrogen peroxide is contained in good quantity in rain water. That's the reason why plants grow and thrive better in the rainy season. Even soaking oneself in rain water seasonally keeps the body properly oxygenated and cleanses skin pores the natural way.

[@dorokaiyinvil5705]

That's cool

I think it's fine to use a modest amount every now and again. 1:5 Hydrogen Peroxide to Water, respectively. It will add extra oxygen to soil. But soil should be oxygenated anyway but aerating it with something like perlite/vermiculite.

[@MrOldclunker]

I always enjoy your videos as you do a lot of research. I was plagued with fungus gnats in my seedling starters and this will be a great help.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Research and testing takes the most amount of work in my videos. Sometimes, there are some things I have to test and try myself before adding in the videos!

I have always used it to germinate hard to sprout varieties like peppers, spinach, kale & such at a mix of 2 tablespoons of 3% to 1 cup of water soaked into paper towels that the seeds are placed in in between two Styrofoam plates & placed in a warm location like on a fridge or heat mat, I check them every day & keep the paper towel wet & most varieties will sprout in 2 to 4 days as oppose to 7 to 14 days in soil trays. I have also used it directly on plants in a stronger ratio with a spray bottle to combat spider mites & other pest both in indoor grow tents & in the outdoor garden

Love how you address this. I also would like to point out that classifications of Good vs Bad is way too black and white. Even natural agents that are classified as BAD, are used medicinally in certain situations in particular doses or ways. So technically it's not BAD you just have to know how to use certain agents and its applications. Just like crossing the street, or driving a car, or using a knife. You have to develop skills and knowledge on how to interact and do or use these things. Not go through life avoiding interacting and using these things because of the potential dangers associated with them.

[@helenmcclellan452]

Thanks!

Stunning background indeed, for a bit I thought it was a green screen, great contrast, almost looks like HDR video. As for the hydrogen peroxide, I tried spraying it on a small fruit tree that has fungus problems for some 2 weeks and it didn't seem to be effective, have been trying neem oil too and not seeing improvement either, so far...

[@MrThingummy]

Hydrogen peroxide commonly also has stabilisers such as phosphoric acid in the mix. That is NOT a problem as it just becomes phosphate fertiliser, but it will slightly acidify the soil (as does peroxide anyway), or damage the leaf.

[@swankyjrgurl1651]

This is correct however food grade does not and is the recommended type for plant use. Make sure ur ratios are exact. I use 1/2 cup of H²0² per gallon of water for healthy plants and germinating. Or 1cup per gallon for fungus on plants. Have used this ratio for 3 years and my plants and lawn are epic!

Looks like it's ideal use cases is for either very major soil pests' issues, accidental degrading composting as mentioned or to scarify seeds chemically.

[@trishkcmo3683]

Also fungus control on plants.

[@hollish196]

If you added aged manure annually or semi-annually with standard compost,, would this help compensate for the hydrogen peroxide depleting the soil? I would assume a heavy top dressing every fall would be sufficient to balance the loss of nutrients. Let me know if this seems reasonable. Of if there is another, better way to adjust this imbalance. Thanks for this great video!
