  1. 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!

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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

  7. 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.

  8. 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. ❤❤❤

  9. 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

  10. Is this good for root vegetables? You talk about giving a boost of oxygen to the roots, I know, but…?

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

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

  14. Hi Brian! Thanks for this great video. Hope the incoming storm does no damage to your area! Keep us posted!

  15. 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.

  16. Brian is going to need a canoe or kayak … or fishing waders and a float tube for this adventure ….

  17. This is excellent information! I already use peroxide on stains on clothing. It takes care of pretty much any stain.

  18. Hey! thats some very good info! Never knew a good portion of this !!You never cease to amaze me!

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. Great info, Thanks!! Prayers from Louisiana that Hillary calms down before hitting you guys! 🙏🙏🙏

  22. 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.

  23. 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.
