Viewing BriarRose74's Garden Diary: Hydrogen Peroxide Water; Aspirin water; willow water

Saturday, February 25, 2006 SherryLike on H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide water) 2/23/06 09:05 entry from: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/423028/ Use on garden and house plants, for vigor and growth: 1 oz 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 quart water 16 drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide to 1 quart water Mist and, or water plants. I do both frequently. Early morning, late afternoon, which, in southeast Arky, is a good rule for just about all applications, including water... Jnette added: I would use the peroxide for mildew also, but I don't think I would spray plants in the evening because of that very thing. Mildew.

This aspirin water and H2O2-Hydrogen Peroxide stuff is awesome info... Thursday, January 12, 2006 Jeff's (JLD_II) experimenting recipe - soak seeds in: ...List of supplies: Maxicrop Superthrive regular store bought hydrogen peroxide. Superthrive or maxicrop are not "MUST HAVES" but they sure help. I mix up 1 gallon at a time as it cannot be stored. 1capful of maxicrop 2-3 drops of Superthrive 1-2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide Mix all ingredients into a 1 gallon jug of water(or you could scale it down if need be, I feed my plants any left over's) Pour the solution into a few small cups that you will be soaking different seeds in. Let seeds sit 24 hours or more in the solution. Then sow seeds as directed. Some seeds will germinate/sprout while being soaked, don't worry. You could pluck them out and plant then or wait the full 24 hrs. With really hard shelled seeds(like passion flower or brugmansia's) I soaked mine for the whole weekend. This will increase germ rates and the amount of time needed to sprout imo. You can do this w/o those fancy ingredients but I like them and they will last you a long time. Both are great to have around for babying sickly plants or rootrot. Have fun and good luck Jeff - JLD_II Apr 12, 2004 - 1:27 PM from: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/423028/ Saturday, December 31, 2005 Prop techniques; aspirin water; peroxide water; etc! http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/367693 - very good info here! Saturday, December 31, 2005 Peroxide Water http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/423028 Sprouting seeds: Add 1 oz. of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide to 1 pint of water and soak the seeds overnight. Add the same amount of H202 each time the seeds are rinsed. IN THE GARDEN: Foliar Feed: For crops, put 16 ozs. of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide into 20 gallons of water. This is sufficient for one acre. Spray on plants early in the morning. Seed Germination: To germinate seeds put 1 to 5 ozs. of 3% hydrogen peroxide into a pint of distilled water. Soak the seeds for 8 hours. Excellent results have been reported on older seeds as well as fresh. Insecticide: Mix 8 ozs. or more of 3% H202 to a gallon of water with 8 ozs. of molasses or white sugar (molasses seems to adhere to the plant better). House & Garden Plants: Put 1 oz. of 3% H202 into a quart of water (or add 16 drops 35% to 1 quart water). Water or mist plants with this solution. Orchards: Water ground around the trees using 6-8 ozs. of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide to a gallon of water, and also use it as a foliar spray. Saturday, December 31, 2005 Aspirin Water http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/523734/ http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Dec03/take_two_aspirin.... (from Shirley) http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/560762 http://www.bluestem.ca/willow-article1.htm (from ddbjs1979) Added: 12/29/05: http://www.plantea.com/plant-aspirin.htm - from: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/563768/ Added: 1/2/06: http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/aspirinforplants.htm Added: 3/9/06: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/577461/ I did the calculations for dif proportions of aspirin:water. *****IF I did the calcuations above correctly, THEN: 3 baby aspirin with 4 gal of water = 1:10,000, the recommended dosage. [That is 243mg aspirin:512oz water.] (Notice how the ounces of water seems to be double the mg of aspirin amount?!) ¾ of an adult aspirin with 4 gal of water = 1:10,000, the recommended dosage. [That is 243.75mg aspirin:512oz water.] I think it would be more like 1/5th of an adult aspirin to 1 gal of water. [That is 65mg aspirin:128oz water.] Seems ½ aspirin (162.5mg) would need to be mixed with approx double that number in ounces (325), or about 2½ gal. ¼ aspirin (81.25mg) would be much easier to measure than 1/5th of an aspirin. Mix would be about 81mg aspirin:163oz water, or about 1¼ gal water. Following this through, about the smallest you could reasonably go would be: 1/8 aspirin (40.625mg) would mix with 81.5oz water, or about 2½ quarts. Will add more links as find them and/or have the time... send me links if you have them, please!! Thanks, Suzi :)
