I’ve used hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant for minor cuts and scrapes, and as part of a DIY teeth-whitening solution. That’s why I was more than a little surprised by this article by Joe Macho at Hubpages that says it’s also great for gardens. Like, seriously, what? You’d think it’d immediately kill any living thing trying to grow. But, apparently, most plants eat that stuff up! Check out some of the many uses of hydrogen peroxide in the garden:
-Organic pesticide: feeding a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution to the infected plants will rid them of soil dwelling pests like root worms
-Soil aeration and root rot treatment: it will break down rapidly in the soil, boosting oxygen levels and expelling any anaerobic conditions.
-Water treatment: it will remove chlorine, and chemical pesticides
