Nancy Percivall, Committee Chair for Horticulture/Conservation, discussed the benefits of using hydrogen peroxide in the garden. Peroxide works by releasing oxygen. It acts as an oxygen supplement and seems to support both good health and strong growth for plants. Peroxide can be used as a fertilizer, to help control mold or fungus, promotes faster germination, and can be used to kill weeds. To start gardening with hydrogen peroxide, a mixing chart is provided by clicking the button below.
