This method is particularly effective for cucumbers, squash, and other plants susceptible to powdery mildew. It’s a safe and eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides.
11. Hydrogen Peroxide for Root Health
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer that can improve root health by increasing oxygen levels in the soil. To use hydrogen peroxide in your garden, mix one part 3% hydrogen peroxide with two parts water and water your plants with this solution once a week. This can help prevent root rot and promote healthy root development.
Hydrogen peroxide can also be used to disinfect seeds before planting. Soak seeds in a solution of one part hydrogen peroxide to ten parts water for 30 minutes to reduce the risk of fungal infections and improve germination rates.
