Are these starts for you garden for the 2021 season? Feels like it’s too early but I’m trying to get a better handle on understanding when to start things. I feel like it’s very hard to account for indoor starts since the indoor environment has a huge effect on growth rate.
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN ok that makes sense I figured but you never know. I feel like someone with a low/high tunnel could get growing pretty soon even in 6A if they are growing something slow and intending on planting large starts.

Oh wow! I just was watching videos last week for uses of hydrogen peroxide in the garden, it's nice to hear some corroboration from a trusted channel that i subscribe to! I picked up a litre of 29% concentrated H2O2 at the local Farmer's Supply, which will save me so much money when diluted down to 3%! I also intend to disinfect my greenhouse and garden tools with it! Thanks so much for this reassurance, Gary!
It works well. Good luck. And yes dilute it LOL Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Works great on newly planted trees and garden plants. Use to sterilize soils Also for diseases fungal and molds. It's v wert safe. Grows plants faster.
Hi from Australia! 🦘🦘🦘Perfect timing for me too 😁👍. Great information. Thank you ... this is a great video! Btw, I I’m not sure about pricing in USA but down here I’ve found that in most pharmacies, the 6% solution is the same price as the 3% solution (same volume). The pharmacist told me to dilute it 50-50 (i.e 1 part H2O2 with 1 part water to get 3%. This is supported online. Just mentioning it because hydrogen peroxide is not particularly cheap here so one can get twice the quantity by buying the 6% and diluting it with water to get 3%. After that, one can continue with the further dilution mentioned in your video. I had already tried hydrogen peroxide but I wasn’t sure I was applying it correctly or whether it was just a drench or whether it was ok to get it on the leaves so, again, thank you for your clear outline. If any of your other Australian subscribers know the best place to buy hydrogen peroxide here, I would love to know, thank you.
Please spread the word through the Australian garden world. I live through you guys during our winters. Yeah mine is 3% so dilute it to that for my ratios. Always good to test spray too. This method works well for me. I added how I use it on tomatoes outdoors, in the video description. Cheers
Living in Adelaide, the best price for me was the Gold Cross brand from Chemist Warehouse, $3.99 for either 100ml at 6% solution or 200ml at 3% solution. My local Terry White Chemart Pharmacy sells the same brand, $5.95 for 100ml at 6% solution, and price-matched Chemist Warehouse. It is also available at Woolworths supermarket (different brand and more expensive). I'd also be interested in knowing if there's a better price out there!
@@teresazetlein3955 ... Thanks. I'm in Adelaide too 👍😊 and because of this very useful post by Gary, I started looking around for better prices. I found the Chemist warehouse option yesterday and have put that H2O2 brand on my shopping list! Thanks!
@designunlimited ... thank you for your generous response. I'll try the tunnel method. I've been using sprays and I agree with you that they're useless
Thank you so much for this timely information. It's summer here in Australia and I've just thrown out some recent cuttings that had damping off disease. I'm confident now that your tips will help me greatly!!

This was an excellent instructional video and I truly appreciate your efforts, and contribution to growing wisdom! Not sure if you are still responding to comments here- I just restarting growing soil sprouts (did it a few years back had great results). My first tray of sprouts on soil, radish sprouts, had a patch of damp off within a few days. My germination mix (ProMix BX) has been in my linen closet for a few years. I was thinking about baking it in the oven, but wondering if you thought I should treat the soil with hydrogen peroxide when I start the next batch?
I hydrate all my seed starting mix with boiling water. That seems to help. I might use h202 as the first watering too. That should be plenty for prevention. Thanks for your support and please visit..

Hey Gary, you mentioned something about light not getting to the H2O2 and "more on that in a minute". Was there more about that, particularly how it affects the strength when growing under lights?
hey Gary, can you microvave your starter dirt or any other soils you use indoors to sterilize it? thanks, love the videos man, ive learned a lot in a little!

My understanding is that its not the burst of energy that cleans the leaves but the extra oxygen molecule thats doing the cleaning. Oxygen helps with all sorts of ailments on the human body- wether rashes, cuts( burns on open wounds), hives etc... So I believe the oxygen is what is the real hero here. You can buy oxygen from cellcor that you can use on skin and every digest. Very good for the human body.
I have a couple of articles on using hydrogen peroxide on plants but didn’t know what ratios to use. Thanks for explaining how to use it. Would it be effective for powdery mildew on full grown plants?
It would help. I am still working on the ratio for effectiveness. Powdery mildew seems to take a lower concentration that what I spray on my outdoor tomatoes. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

I use 1% h2o2 for my tomatoes and cucumbers ( thanks to Your videos ) - tried a 3 % solution, just to see if it does any damage - it didn't. So I suppose the 3% could be used, if any fungal sickness gets out of control.
3% did damage peppers (as a leaf spray) years ago when I started but once you find the ratio that works for you, its good stuff. Get your fall garden supplies!

I have an important question for u and am in need of some diar help. I used half a cup of 3 percent peroxide to a gallon of water and both foliar sprayed and watered my tomato plants , and when I came back half of them were wilted..

I dont actually Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs at www.therustedgarden.com & Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications. Thanks
I bought a gallon of 35% hydrogen peroxide and I used approx. 1 T to 1 liter of water. Could that have been too strong??? I used it to spray/water my tomato seedlings and on the open pollinated varieties such as beefsteak I noticed damage on the stems getting very thin at the top and some of the leaves having a downward curl.. any input?
In theory yes. Test spray a quarter of the plant and see how it goes. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
Hello from Melbourne 🙃 My questions...if H202 kills fungal diseases, does it also kill good bacteria in the soil? Also, you spray your vegetable plants with diluted H202 ...are they actually safe to be eaten after having been sprayed repeatedly with the H202 solution? I'm probably overthinking 😅😇 Thank you 😊
Cheers. It would but you would have to put a ton outdoors to change soil microbes. Outdoors is for leaves. Indoors, in theory it, could. However, you dont need soil life for seed starts or you can add it back after the insects are managed.
Not at all unless you prefer it. This is gone on the plant by second day.

One word of caution I did not hear mentioned.... Be careful spraying the hydrogen peroxide, even in diluted form, around or on surfaces that are porous, like wood floors, carpet, drapes, fabric, etc. Hydrogen peroxide, has bleaching properties, and it will bleach or fade, your fabrics and furnishings. And that's something you can't undo. Otherwise, happy gardening.

Thank you SO much for this! My cuttings keep getting that white fungus. This is great! Here's one question I have- can I spray it on plants that currently have fruit on them? For example my blackberries have some minor fungal issues but they're developing the berries right now. I don't know if spraying something on it during production is good or bad.
Test out some h202 on the the canes.

Thanks @Gary. How often, or how many times in a row, can I treat my seedlings with this H2O2 treatment? Sorry if I missed this in the video. E.g. if I'm fighting back soil fungus how many soil treatments in a row might be safe for the seedlings? Or can the seedlings take this H2O2 soil treatment continuously?
So I havent done a lot back to back. But in theory you could. I might test it on a batch but if its bad, maybe every 3 days to get them under control. If they arent manage after 3 tries, I think you need more h202 or something else. Good luck.

Gary last two years I’ve gotten mold on our basil that eventually spread to all the plants. It started indoors about a month after I started them. Will the peroxide spray prevent possible outbreak of mold or stop it once it’s on the plant. Thanks for your help and videos
Basil is tough cause the leaves are sensitive to spray. I would test it. But go with this ratio first and test a few leaves. If leaves are damaged, increase the water dilution.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you for writing back. I don’t think the spray is damaging leaves so I’ve kept spraying daily but the black mold on the leaves isn’t going away. I started a new flat of basil in case these don’t rebound. Last year when we put them in the garden with some mold. they struggled until they succumbed to the mold. Last night I picked all leaves off that had the mold and sprayed again to see rebound.

Hey Gary, question for you. So I was wondering if you’d recommend adding liquid kelp into the peroxide mix for some added benefits? One of my house plants got root rot and I sprayed down with 3% peroxide mixed w a small bit of liquid kelp to help with immune system. It worked well. Do you think it would work good for this application too? Thanks!
For h202 I add nothing. You dont want it to react and be useless. I would add kelp after treatment when it needs watering again. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Hi, do you think it would be okay to water my indoor garden plants periodically with a 4 parts water + 1 part hydrogen peroxide solution? If yes, how often should I do it? I'm thinking of alternating an hp solution w plant food every month, (ex Aug hp, Sept food, oct hp, etc) . Also, last year I paid just over a dollar for 32oz bottle of peroxide. Last week the same item is selling for as much as $5 and change. Do you have any idea why the price has gone up so much? Thanks for your answers & you have a great chanel!

G'day Garry, Was the peroxide in the bottle 100% or does it come diluted to 3%? Was the 3% handwritten on the bottle just for our benefit? Does your 4:1 ratio use the 100% or the 3%?
I buy 3%. It is diluted and what they sell in stores. I wrote 3% on there so you could all see it. The ratio of 4 to 1 is using the 3% store brand. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com

Hi Gary thanks for the information. I would like to ask you a few things: is it possible to use HP to kill nematodes in the soil? and also considering that it kills the eggs of insects, would it be possible to use it also to kill the eggs nested in the soil of the eleurotidae which transmit viruses in tomatoes and solanaceae? what do you think about it ? use it as a bio pesticide or fumigant. HP is sold in hardware stores with high concentrations, 30% to whiten the wood, suitably diluted could it be used through drip irrigation systems?. But I don't know what effects it can have on mycorrhizae which are useful for the roots ...
I dont think so. You can try a neem oil drench. That is better but drenches are hard. People to do buy beneficial nematodes to fight bad nematodes and other insects. I just dont have a lot of experience with soil borne issues to help. Sorry. Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
I am having a fungus gnat problem and will try this. Also, have you or would you do a video on how many weeks, ahead of planting out in your garden, you should start seeds of various vegetables. I remember seeing one of your videos where you went over some of them but I haven't been able to find it again.
I had a tomato sprouting, and I put it under a dome. The whole thing got covered with mold. I washed off the mold. I planted each seed in a separate pot. I made a 1:1 solution with hydrogen peroxide and water, and poured on half a cup each pot, and it fizzed and puffed up like a cake! Now! Do I have to rinse it out with clear water? Do I just leave the peroxide like that? Are my sprouts still ok? I can't see them... I did leave them above the soil, but once I poured the liquid on, it covered up the sprouts w soil. Please advise me? Thanks! Happy Easter :)
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Ok, thanks. You mean the kind of reaction being it swelling up like a cake? It just fizzed the soil up and filled it with air I guess. Well... I've rinsed it out with a lot of water, so hopefully the plants will survive! I'll let you know.

I am trying to germinate my blueberry seeds but they have mold... can I remove the mold using hydrogen peroxide. Will the seeds not be damaged? What is the ratio between water and peroxide? Thank You.
You can use h202 for that. Even diluted. The seeds should be fine. 50/50 for seed wash. Check out the new Limited Edition 'The Rusted Garden 2023' T-shirts and my seed and garden shop. Thanks! www.therustedgarden.com/search?type=product&q=shirt
From me. It just the reaction of the h202 to the pathogen and the oxygen atom breaking off. Its not termed right but its the idea. Like if you rinse with peroxide or put it on a cut you see it bubble and turn white. Look up how does hydrogen peroxide sterilize and you'll find it.

How soon can I start using this on seedlings? Would be to soon when they just sprout? I add some garden tone to my seed staring mix and it seems like is white fuzzy mold growing in it, please give an advice? Should I throw that tray away and start again?
I would test some on them now and see. But I use it right away. Yea any granular organic you use now will grow mold and fungus. I recommend no fert early and water soluble later.

When making the mixture. How long can it last in the container. I only spray two plants that I’m dealing with black spots on the leaves. I have a 1/2 gallon spray bottle and end up not using a lot.
H202 really won't last outdoors in sprayers. It begins to breakdown. But you would need to but it in a dark place. If the spray bottle is solid and its indoors, it last quite a while.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Is it OK to water top and bottom of potting mix with (4:1) ... and then plant my pre -soaked (4:1) seeds ? I'm on Maui and all my purchased plants have issues. And my yard also ! I was going to start many seeds but now I'm scared.
Can you recommend a good cucumber 🥒. I’m in Delaware 7a. We have a lot of humidity. I tried several and always seem to get leaf spots and or fungus disease not long after the first harvest.

Oh wow! I just was watching videos last week for uses of hydrogen peroxide in the garden, it's nice to hear some corroboration from a trusted channel that i subscribe to! I picked up a litre of 29% concentrated H2O2 at the local Farmer's Supply, which will save me so much money when diluted down to 3%! I also intend to disinfect my greenhouse and garden tools with it!

Hi from Australia! 🦘🦘🦘Perfect timing for me too 😁👍. Great information. Thank you ... this is a great video!
Btw, I I’m not sure about pricing in USA but down here I’ve found that in most pharmacies, the 6% solution is the same price as the 3% solution (same volume). The pharmacist told me to dilute it 50-50 (i.e 1 part H2O2 with 1 part water to get 3%. This is supported online. Just mentioning it because hydrogen peroxide is not particularly cheap here so one can get twice the quantity by buying the 6% and diluting it with water to get 3%. After that, one can continue with the further dilution mentioned in your video. I had already tried hydrogen peroxide but I wasn’t sure I was applying it correctly or whether it was just a drench or whether it was ok to get it on the leaves so, again, thank you for your clear outline. If any of your other Australian subscribers know the best place to buy hydrogen peroxide here, I would love to know, thank you.
I bought mine at a Drakes grocery store in Qld Australia, price was reasonable
@@noelenejephcott6954 ... Thanks for that. I'm down in SA but will check it out. There's a Drakes not far from me. :-)
Please spread the word through the Australian garden world. I live through you guys during our winters. Yeah mine is 3% so dilute it to that for my ratios. Always good to test spray too. This method works well for me. I added how I use it on tomatoes outdoors, in the video description. Cheers
Living in Adelaide, the best price for me was the Gold Cross brand from Chemist Warehouse, $3.99 for either 100ml at 6% solution or 200ml at 3% solution. My local Terry White Chemart Pharmacy sells the same brand, $5.95 for 100ml at 6% solution, and price-matched Chemist Warehouse. It is also available at Woolworths supermarket (different brand and more expensive). I'd also be interested in knowing if there's a better price out there!
@@teresazetlein3955 ... Thanks. I'm in Adelaide too 👍😊 and because of this very useful post by Gary, I started looking around for better prices. I found the Chemist warehouse option yesterday and have put that H2O2 brand on my shopping list! Thanks!

Thanks
This was an excellent instructional video and I truly appreciate your efforts, and contribution to growing wisdom! Not sure if you are still responding to comments here- I just restarting growing soil sprouts (did it a few years back had great results). My first tray of sprouts on soil, radish sprouts, had a patch of damp off within a few days. My germination mix (ProMix BX) has been in my linen closet for a few years. I was thinking about baking it in the oven, but wondering if you thought I should treat the soil with hydrogen peroxide when I start the next batch?
I hydrate all my seed starting mix with boiling water. That seems to help. I might use h202 as the first watering too. That should be plenty for prevention.

My understanding is that its not the burst of energy that cleans the leaves but the extra oxygen molecule thats doing the cleaning. Oxygen helps with all sorts of ailments on the human body- wether rashes, cuts( burns on open wounds), hives etc... So I believe the oxygen is what is the real hero here. You can buy oxygen from cellcor that you can use on skin and every digest. Very good for the human body.
I have a couple of articles on using hydrogen peroxide on plants but didn’t know what ratios to use. Thanks for explaining how to use it. Would it be effective for powdery mildew on full grown plants?
It would help. I am still working on the ratio for effectiveness. Powdery mildew seems to take a lower concentration that what I spray on my outdoor tomatoes.

I use 1% h2o2 for my tomatoes and cucumbers ( thanks to Your videos ) - tried a 3 % solution, just to see if it does any damage - it didn't. So I suppose the 3% could be used, if any fungal sickness gets out of control.
3% did damage peppers (as a leaf spray) years ago when I started but once you find the ratio that works for you, its good stuff.

Hello from Melbourne 🙃
My questions...if H202 kills fungal diseases, does it also kill good bacteria in the soil?
Also, you spray your vegetable plants with diluted H202 ...are they actually safe to be eaten after having been sprayed repeatedly with the H202 solution?
I'm probably overthinking 😅😇
Thank you 😊
Cheers. It would but you would have to put a ton outdoors to change soil microbes. Outdoors is for leaves. Indoors, in theory it, could. However, you dont need soil life for seed starts or you can add it back after the insects are managed.
Thanks for sharing. Does it have to be food grade? Can I use the one says 'external use only'?
Not at all unless you prefer it. This is gone on the plant by second day.

One word of caution I did not hear mentioned....
Be careful spraying the hydrogen peroxide, even in diluted form, around or on surfaces that are porous, like wood floors, carpet, drapes, fabric, etc. Hydrogen peroxide, has bleaching properties, and it will bleach or fade, your fabrics and furnishings. And that's something you can't undo.
Otherwise, happy gardening.
Good point. Thanks

E.g. if I'm fighting back soil fungus how many soil treatments in a row might be safe for the seedlings? Or can the seedlings take this H2O2 soil treatment continuously?
So I havent done a lot back to back. But in theory you could. I might test it on a batch but if its bad, maybe every 3 days to get them under control. If they arent manage after 3 tries, I think you need more h202 or something else. Good luck.

Gary last two years I’ve gotten mold on our basil that eventually spread to all the plants. It started indoors about a month after I started them. Will the peroxide spray prevent possible outbreak of mold or stop it once it’s on the plant.
Thanks for your help and videos
Basil is tough cause the leaves are sensitive to spray. I would test it. But go with this ratio first and test a few leaves. If leaves are damaged, increase the water dilution.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you for writing back. I don’t think the spray is damaging leaves so I’ve kept spraying daily but the black mold on the leaves isn’t going away. I started a new flat of basil in case these don’t rebound. Last year when we put them in the garden with some mold. they struggled until they succumbed to the mold.
Last night I picked all leaves off that had the mold and sprayed again to see rebound.
Thank you for useful channel and information
Sir I have the 6% hydrogen peroxide
Can I use it with the half amounts?
Yeah cut your amount of h202 by 1/2 what I recommend as mine is only 3%. Always test spray.

Hey Gary, question for you. So I was wondering if you’d recommend adding liquid kelp into the peroxide mix for some added benefits? One of my house plants got root rot and I sprayed down with 3% peroxide mixed w a small bit of liquid kelp to help with immune system. It worked well. Do you think it would work good for this application too? Thanks!
For h202 I add nothing. You dont want it to react and be useless. I would add kelp after treatment when it needs watering again.

Thanks a lot . I am following you from Saudi Arabia. Do you use always F1 seeds for veritable plants?
My seeds are mixed. Heirlooms and some hybrids. Thanks for watching from so far away.
Thanks Gary, can this or does this process need to be used for seedling transplants? Take care
Not sure what you meant but it can be used in general on smaller plants.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN , sorry bout that. What I meant is, after seedlings get their true leaves and transplanted to larger containers. I'm growing Dahlias and lupines along with other perennials. Thanks.
Great Reminder to always sterilize our soil... Thanks Sir

My avocado plants 3-6 months in pots, the leaves get dark spots soon after getting water? Letting them dry in between watering?
I will try this next time I water
If you have multiple plants try it on one first. Its just good practice.

Would you do this once the plants have grown up a bit or could you do it in the seed tray once you have seeds the plants
You can do it in the seed trays. I am using a 4:1 ratio for that. Always test spray.

Hi, do you think it would be okay to water my indoor garden plants periodically with a 4 parts water + 1 part hydrogen peroxide solution? If yes, how often should I do it? I'm thinking of alternating an hp solution w plant food every month, (ex Aug hp, Sept food, oct hp, etc) . Also, last year I paid just over a dollar for 32oz bottle of peroxide. Last week the same item is selling for as much as $5 and change. Do you have any idea why the price has gone up so much? Thanks for your answers & you have a great chanel!
It wont hurt but I dont know the frequency. And do a plant or 2 and wait a week. Always test out new things.

Can you use the peroxide 4-1 solution by using it to spray on plants or use it as a soil dredge when your plants are still under the lights?
I have done both at 4 to 1. Anything you are spraying on leaves you want to test spray. Just to be safe. I had no issue with it but sometimes what works for one doesnt for another gardener

G'day Garry,
Was the peroxide in the bottle 100% or does it come diluted to 3%?
Was the 3% handwritten on the bottle just for our benefit?
Does your 4:1 ratio use the 100% or the 3%?
I buy 3%. It is diluted and what they sell in stores. I wrote 3% on there so you could all see it. The ratio of 4 to 1 is using the 3% store brand.

Great tips can you use this for houseplants as well?
Yes. I mix the hydrogen peroxide right in when I do regular watering. Keeps those fungus gnats at bay and the plants have a more vibrant appearance.
@@TheCausalParadox Alright Thanks you happy growing.
Yep but test it.

does peroxide also helps with killing thrips?! I'm hoping it will help with gnats and thrips.
It can kill small soft bodied insect but I am not sure with thrips.

Can I use hydrogen peroxide on aloe Vera starter plates
Hi Gary thanks for the information. I would like to ask you a few things: is it possible to use HP to kill nematodes in the soil? and also considering that it kills the eggs of insects, would it be possible to use it also to kill the eggs nested in the soil of the eleurotidae which transmit viruses in tomatoes and solanaceae? what do you think about it ? use it as a bio pesticide or fumigant. HP is sold in hardware stores with high concentrations, 30% to whiten the wood, suitably diluted could it be used through drip irrigation systems?. But I don't know what effects it can have on mycorrhizae which are useful for the roots ...
I dont think so. You can try a neem oil drench. That is better but drenches are hard. People to do buy beneficial nematodes to fight bad nematodes and other insects. I just dont have a lot of experience with soil borne issues to help. Sorry.

I am having a fungus gnat problem and will try this. Also, have you or would you do a video on how many weeks, ahead of planting out in your garden, you should start seeds of various vegetables. I remember seeing one of your videos where you went over some of them but I haven't been able to find it again.
I have a bad fungus gnat problem, did this help you?
@@shonielj703 yes ...killed them all
@@sherrymilen1346 Did you use it on seedlings too ?
@@shonielj703 yes ,on the soil. Mix as Gary Pilar... recomends

I had a tomato sprouting, and I put it under a dome. The whole thing got covered with mold. I washed off the mold. I planted each seed in a separate pot. I made a 1:1 solution with hydrogen peroxide and water, and poured on half a cup each pot, and it fizzed and puffed up like a cake! Now! Do I have to rinse it out with clear water? Do I just leave the peroxide like that? Are my sprouts still ok? I can't see them... I did leave them above the soil, but once I poured the liquid on, it covered up the sprouts w soil. Please advise me? Thanks! Happy Easter :)
Not sure to be honest but the h202 does break down but just not sure with that kind of reaction. Sorry.
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Ok, thanks. You mean the kind of reaction being it swelling up like a cake? It just fizzed the soil up and filled it with air I guess. Well... I've rinsed it out with a lot of water, so hopefully the plants will survive! I'll let you know.
Gary,
What brand is the spray bottle you are using?
Thank you 😊
That gray one was from Home Depot or Lowes

I am trying to germinate my blueberry seeds but they have mold... can I remove the mold using hydrogen peroxide. Will the seeds not be damaged? What is the ratio between water and peroxide? Thank You.
You can use h202 for that. Even diluted. The seeds should be fine. 50/50 for seed wash.

Can you tell me Gary where did you get that info that hydrogen peroxide kills pathogens by " bursting energy" ?
From me. It just the reaction of the h202 to the pathogen and the oxygen atom breaking off. Its not termed right but its the idea. Like if you rinse with peroxide or put it on a cut you see it bubble and turn white. Look up how does hydrogen peroxide sterilize and you'll find it.

How soon after you spray the seedlings can they go back under lights?
I give them 24 hours off.

So helpful! Thank you!
How soon can I start using this on seedlings?
Would be to soon when they just sprout?
I add some garden tone to my seed staring mix and it seems like is white fuzzy mold growing in it, please give an advice?
Should I throw that tray away and start again?
I would test some on them now and see. But I use it right away. Yea any granular organic you use now will grow mold and fungus. I recommend no fert early and water soluble later.

When making the mixture. How long can it last in the container. I only spray two plants that I’m dealing with black spots on the leaves. I have a 1/2 gallon spray bottle and end up not using a lot.
H202 really won't last outdoors in sprayers. It begins to breakdown. But you would need to but it in a dark place. If the spray bottle is solid and its indoors, it last quite a while.

Great information and advice, thank you. Sorry if this has already been asked but what are your thoughts on using hydrogen peroxide to sterilize your mix instead of boiling water? I'm trying that with my peat moss and before I add perlite and vermiculite. Thanks!
You can do that but I think it is more expensive. I would go with boiling water and h202 if needed.

Yes this works great and easier than boiling water.
Just wondering when you’ve just planted your seeds and you put this in the tray how often would you do this well seeds are growing just 1 time in bottom of tray
I only would do it if an issue shows up.

Can you recommend a good cucumber 🥒. I’m in Delaware 7a. We have a lot of humidity. I tried several and always seem to get leaf spots and or fungus disease not long after the first harvest. I have tried in different locations and in pots🤷🏼♀️ I only water from the bottom when needed. And spray as you recommend and still seem to struggle.
maybe trellis to get them up in breeze and sunshine. I'm in gulf coast Texas.
You can plant what I plant National Pickling, Marketmore and Straight 8.
