I love to use this hydrogen too. Where I live is raining a lot
The major problem is that in order to stabilize the h2o2 silver or other agents are added, and those building up destroy your microbial balance. Same with the copper
I've done it both ways. Sprayers take *forever.* It was an hour long process and so much pumping. The fogger is 100x better. It's the best investment I've made in terms of garden tools.
@@TheMillennialGardener Yes. Unfortunately, most people have little to no basic math or science in the educational foundation. I still use cash when shopping brick&mortar stores (as a weapon against the bankster cartel), but most of the people who run the cash registers have a difficult time counting back change. I can't imagine them grasping concepts of basic chemistry or physics. I kid you not that there are graduates with masters degrees who do not understand that negative 20 is less than negative 15 ... it just blows my mind -- how does anyone get a masters degree without learning basic 5th grade math? But what does anyone expect when a lot of these people cannot even understand the most basic concept of biological gender. Anyway, I've developed a couple of automated sub-irrigation system designs -- as I think sub-irrigation methods are the way to go for gardening (especially for drought prone areas). I'd like to run them by you if you're interested.
Was that a massive bed of dill??? I've got some large plants but those are huge. It might seem trivial but I'd love a video on how to grow a dill jungle.
Women please be aware: the fogger is a great idea, and I bought one but it is way too heavy for me when its full (Im a small framed 65 year old woman) and I ended up in the chiropractor's office because it put my back out.
Thank you for the cautionary warning. Gardening can be therapeutic, but as we age, we have to tell the 16 year old living in our head to sit down and be quiet 😊 or we will overdo and be sidelined for a while! Hope your back is better! 🪴
I was thinking about doing one gallon at a time myself, too. One gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 lbs. And I have no clue how much the actual fogger ways. To the video creator, thank you for sharing because my tomato plants got brown spot in the worst way.
@@kimp2678 One gallon works perfectly for me. Its a comfortable weight for me to carry around. If there is a shoulder strap on that one (I dont remember) you can easily carry it that way!
As he said test spray and start at a lower dose, 12 Tbsp per gallon can cause some burning on some of my varieties but others it doesn't, for me burning looks like black pin prick spots usually on the area of the leaf water will sit after spraying, like a curled leaf tip. 8 TBsp per gallon completely stopped/killed Septoria leaf spot on two of my varieties with only 1 or 2 sprays, but 8 Tbsp (even up to 10) wouldn't kill it on two of my sensitive heirloom varieties. Once I go to 10 Tbsp i got some burning on the leaves for those sensitive plants, but even though it isn't killing the septoria leaf spot on those plants, the lower dose of 8 Tbsp is stopping the spread to new leaves. I do strongly recommend to check plants closely especially the varieties that tend to have physiological leaf roll. its so easy for water or dew to collect in the rolled leaves at night, and any fungal spores that have blow in from the wind will get wet and start an infection. Those rolled leaves act like a trap/funnel for fungal spores to get into and without unrolling the leaves and checking the tips and sides of the leaf you may not see the amount of infection until its well established. I had leaf spot start without any rain for 9 days and it was from the dew collecting in those rolled leaves on just 2 plants, 2 out of 30 isnt bad though. Also as a side note, 12TBsp per gallon killed early blight on my Zinnias, but wouldn't stop my bacterial spotting which is notorious for being difficult to treat.

I like the machine that you used, but it would be too heavy for me. If you have time, would you please recommend something lighter? I would really appreciate it. I’m disabled, so a lighter version of this machine would really make applying treatments sooo much easier.
For the past 2 years the school where I work has been using a ULV fogger and a hydrogen peroxide/water solution to disinfect the school for Covid. It's basically the same set up as in this video. Apparently, this system can disinfect your house as well as your garden. 😃
Thanks for this video! That fogger looks like so much fun to play with. As a chemist I appreciate you taking your time to explain what a chemical is. Unless anyone can access a perfect vacuum, they will never see anything chemical-free. I always say, "life is made up of chemicals. Anyone trying to tell you differently is trying to sell you something."
I’m afraid most people literally just don’t stop to think about “what is a chemical, why do I think it’s bad, what are things made of” etc etc. I been telling folks that sane think, “everything is chemicals” but I also still say things like things like “that has nasty chems on it” both are right…or can be at least.
I have been trying to convince myself to get a fogger, I have been using an irrigation pump for spray pressure. No concern for stabilizers? 3% Medical-grade isn't required to list the stabilizers so we won't know if our source contains toxins-for-plants. They sell food-grade 3%-35%.
Richard from Grafting Dragon Fruit recommended hydrogen peroxide spray for treating copper rust, but on a much higher concentration. He uses 3% hydrogen peroxide on a 1:1 ratio with water, which is 10 times stronger than usual (4 tablespoons per liter is the most common recipe). I'm sure tomato leaves are way more sensitive than dragon fruit stems, but I still use the 1:1 spray on all my plants for treating copper rust, powdery mildew and other diseases. I never had a problem with leaves being burned up. The only leaves which turn gray and dry out are the ones infected with disease, while the rest are completely fine. I think hydrogen peroxide does more damage to the leaves which are already damaged by disease. Diseased leaves start sizzling after being sprayed, which is a sign that cells are dying (both parasite and plant cells), while healthy leaves don't sizzle.
I live in Florida and have used a 2% hydrogen peroxide solution on my plants and seedlings a few times now and it seems to work well. Biggest problem I've been having is sun scorching. It's been brutal lately.
2%? The bottle in my bathroom is 3% and I cut it 4:1 as a drench or wash. You can buy it in 5% and up to 10%. Never seen 2% but I’m sure it exists and I’m thinking it’s too stronger for most direct applications. 🤷🏽
I use Hydrogen Peroxide spray and find it very effective, but as well as spraying my plants I use it to control Algae growth in my rain water collection tanks. It also eliminates Mosquito larvae in the collection tanks. It truly is a miracle product.
Love watching your videos! So helpful 👍🏼 I live in hot, humid Georgia so we have a very similar climate. I use the ratio of 1 Cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with 1 gallon of water. I have to spray every other day when disease is active and once a week as a preventative. It’s a pain but it’s a must for us here if I want any crop of tomatoes at all 🙄
That equates to 16Tbsp/gal. I haven't gone higher than 12Tbsp/gal, personally. I find it to be very effective at that rate. You may be able to scale back and use less, or if it's working for you, just keep on keeping on.
Annual vegetables are not permaculture. There is little sustainable about modern vegetables that have been developed through artificial cross pollination and isolation stabilization. Permaculture is for orchards focusing on native species. To garden well, you need to bend your environment to suit your needs.
@@TheMillennialGardener Incorrect my friend. Permaculture encompasses everything. Invest in healthy soil and you will have fewer of these issues without spraying poison everywhere. Using open-pollinated and heritage plants is awesome as you spread your own seed
I am just north of you in Virginia and we have the same weather……disease has really ramped up here. I tried the hydrogen peroxide spray for the first time yesterday after watching another video…..hopefully my concentration wasn’t too much. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞 it works. Fogging machine looks cool. Great video. ❤️
Thank you for your videos! Question, I only have two plants that I will use the peroxide/water spray on. Can I mix it up, but not use it all in one spraying, or do you have to mix it fresh each time? Thank you!
I'm going to vicariously live through your garden. I live in Oklahoma worst drought in 100 years and daily triple digits plus water restrictions. My garden is gone. Enjoy that rain.
I'm in Spokane...SO MANY DISEASES!@#?*😢😮 Everybody was GORGEOUS for thunderstorm season, but the very second our 80+ dry summer slammed us per usual-BAM! Everyone is croaking of rust, scab, root rots, yadda yadda. Abysmal!!!😢
Is that the $100 model on your storefront? Do you need to wear a mask? I’ve found the gallon sprayers from Walmart and Home Depot don’t last. Have you used tea tree or peppermint Castile soap for spider mites? Cheers!
It fluctuates a lot. It is currently $259, but it was just $149 on Prime Day. Check back regularly. It goes on a sale a lot. I don’t wear a mask spraying peroxide in this concentration. It depends what you spray.
Have you tried iodine? Iodine plus h2o2 basically acts as a catalyst and releases the o2 faster is my understanding. So if you do iodine one day and h2o2 the next, maybe I don't know, lol. ATM... I bought a diseased plant with bad septoria. Three days of rain it jumped to my 9 ft tomatoe plants. I'm in georgia. Sprayed all kinds of stuff trying to control it, basically everything was tried. About all hope is lost. Can't keep pruning. I think all the ineffective septoria treatments weakened the plants and now I suspect they have 3 or 4 diseases. Septoria, early blight, some kinda copper-ish leave color and one plant is wilting like made... think I might have seen ants in a line going in the dirt, probably a fungus...so much fungus... I'm in ga. I'm growing in growbags, fox farm dirt. How can I sanitize the soil once this die? Any other advice?
I think you could also try to grow more resilient plants or skip some vegetables completely for some other ones. I did that with beans, because I can't control the pests organically and now I'll grow more kale, cucumbers and pumpkins instead.
I bought the Super Handy Fogger a few years ago and that is the worst crap I have ever used before, the strap does not help and it is always slipping off your shoulder, anyway i used for about 2 days and send it back to amazon for a full refund. I don't recommend this fogger, I rather use the pumping one.
I've seen where they grow the lettuce for most of the United States. It's in the desert in California. I also invested into Village Farms. They grow the tomatoes using an air grow technique in greenhouses in Canada
Rain is the enemy of gardening. It just spreads diseases and pests, and causes the fruits to split, burst or be waterlogged and flavorless. There is a reason why our farmlands are in dry regions and then they dig channels for irrigation. Rain is just awful for growing food, unless you're growing purely tropical things. I know it flies in the face of reason, but rain and commercial farming just doesn't mix.
What's rain? Lol Zone 9b California. No rain after March usually (this year the most recent exception). And no rain all summer until late October if we're lucky to get some then. But this is so useful for the evil botrytis that enjoys our climate in spring n fall when it's still moist n cool at night. Great video!!
My favorite gardening channel. And I always look forward to seeing Dale. Although I currently live in the desert, I know people who garden in humid climates, so I'm sharing this.
You've done it again 👏 right to the subject with great content delivery. I love the "fogger" approach for applications seems cover without blowing plants away. Greatly appreciate your channel since I recently discovered this year. Right from my first video I started planning my fall and next spring garden based on your info. Dale is just a handsome Boss 😍
This is a wonderful video. Last year my baby okra plants had brown spots covering and all over the leaves. I used the H2O2 spray twice and it absolutely cured whatever was wrong with the plants. Those 26 plants were so prolific that I had more okra than I could use and shared with neighbors. They were Clemson spineless. This year I used a different type of okra that I LOVE, they were called Long Pod Okra from Hoss Tools. The pods are 10-12 inches long and still not too hard to use, so I'm impressed highly with those; and, so far I only have to cut them every 3 days instead of everyday.
I watched that RUclips video this guy swears if you cover the ground with decomposed mulch separating the soil from the something that will harm the health of the plant so use these decomposed mulch
Amazing. I just decided to use this hydrogen peroxide solution in the fogger you suggested to buy (which I did last year). I noticed powdery mildew on the tomatoes when I removed the shade cloth in the dry hot weather. Maybe from limited air circulation. Do you suggest spraying in the surface of the ground/beds to get the spores? This ULV Fogger is amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.
Go to Advance Eco Agriculture on youtube or call them, learn how when plants are properly grown they resists all bugs and disease. Plants are best tested for nutrients needed not soil tests.
It's true that weaker plants are more susceptible to bugs and disease. However, no plant is immune. It's not possible. Often, the fruits are susceptible as well. The only thing you can do is control the population. A lot of northern climates in the US don't face significant pest and disease pressure, so there is a lack of understanding how bad pests and diseases can be in susceptible regions.
@@TheMillennialGardener I assumed you went to that site and company and observed their videos and reports consisting of vast amounts of scientific research and actual growing plants to prove their point before you made that statement
@@safffff1000 it's not possible to breed a plant that avoids all diseases and pests. It isn't physically possible. Any nightshade or cucurbit I grow will be attacked by pests and disease - that's a fact, and it isn't arguable. Therefore, I will need some type of spraying routine no matter what I do.
@@TheMillennialGardener The plants when grown in perfect health emits tastes that the bugs don't like. That's natures way of using bugs to get rid of weak plants, I can't help it you grow weak plants. Again you don't now what your talking about because you refuse to learn new things. I have studied these guys for dozens of hours they back up everything they say. But you don't want to change. They have 2 identical fields right next to each other one grown like yours full of bugs and the other with no bugs at all. But did you look, noooo.
Hi Dale. Thanks your videos are very helpful. Two questions. I bought the ULV fogger. No instructions in it. Do you clean it by running water through it? What else do you spray with it. Is soap solution okay?
You're welcome! I like to explain why things work more than how, because if you don't understand why you're doing what you're doing, then the information isn't really valuable.
Kudos for this advice. I did this and my plants all have come back strong. I did prune the bad stuff off but the plants all look much happier. New growth , greener. I highly reccomend spraying them with hydrogen peroxide, cheap and effective.
Hydrogen peroxide is not food. If you drink it, it will immediately induce vomiting. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 chemically, which rapidly degrades to H2O and O2. You don't need anything else than what's at Walmart.
Have you tried to use ozonated water? Ozonizers are pretty cheap, and you can make lots of ozonated water, that have a similar effect that hydrogen peroxide on pests and fungus. Also you can just water you pla ts with ozonated water, and it will kill underground pests and increase the ability of the plant to absorb nutrients
Darling your videos are interesting concise and to the point….you speak fast but this old lady can understand you completely…. and believe me when I tell you I am a fussy old biddy…. So keep up the informative videos…….also from NC
I would not mix hydrogen peroxide with anything. It is very reactive. For example, if you mix hydrogen peroxide with copper, it'll turn the solution brown and you'll have to throw it all away. I strongly recommend when spraying hydrogen peroxide to keep the solution pure: only the hydrogen peroxide and water. It's the chemical decomposition that makes it valuable, and you don't want to mix anything with that that can disrupt the decomposition.
Right on time! Thanks for the video! The fogger that l purchased during prime day sale arrived today. Excited to use it tomorrow. I have very similar conditions as yours, would like to see many videos about other spraying routines. What can we do if we have a leftover mix in the tank? Can we store it in another container or do we need to dispose it?
If you expand the video description, click on my Amazon Storefront link, which is the first link under the table of contents. Choose the GARDEN ACCESSORIES list. I have two brands of weed barrier. They are both excellent. Use whatever that fits your size and price point.
@@TheMillennialGardener had to ask kids how do I expand and wow GOT IT and that’s the fabric I see in your videos. So pleased many many thanks. Deciding on 3x100 I think. Have tiny garden but want it to look as tidy as yours. Maybe wife will let me expand garden!!

Sounds like sub-irrigation is the way to go huh?
And I love the stoichiometry man -- I don't think I've ever seen that done on a garden video.

They are asparagus. My dill here goes to seed in May. We'll plant more soon for the fall.
Will that fogger work with soapy water applications or will it just blow bubbles?
I haven't tried. I imagine it would work just fine. It's very effective.

I think you could also try to grow more resilient plants or skip some vegetables completely for some other ones. I did that with beans, because I can't control the pests organically and now I'll grow more kale, cucumbers and pumpkins instead.
If you live in NORTH Carolina you are not in the South. Holy shit where's the Tylenol.
Do you use your one fog machine for all your spraying needs? Does the sulfur stain it or do you have more than one fogger?
I bought the Super Handy Fogger a few years ago and that is the worst crap I have ever used before, the strap does not help and it is always slipping off your shoulder, anyway i used for about 2 days and send it back to amazon for a full refund. I don't recommend this fogger, I rather use the pumping one.
Okay so we have a fogger that we use for Halloween, Im curious now whether it will work as a fogger for my garden.
Now I know what I'm doing today 🤣
Anybody used hydrogen peroxide on seedlings to stop damping off disease?
Have you used hydrogen peroxide on blueberry bushes to control fungus? I'm in the greensboro nc area
Has anyone combined aspirin with h2o2 as preventative spray??
How would you get in under the leaves? With the sprayer wand ~ you can poke it inside the bush.
Have you tried spraying 35percent hydrogen peroxide
Where else can I buy this fogger as the link product is not available
can you pour hydrogen peroxide mix into soil around the base of tomato or vegetable plants?
Please comment on the use of hydrogen peroxide solution as a drench to treat fusarium wilt in the soil. Yes or No and Why please.
You just saved my tomatoe leaves that were turning purple.
I've seen where they grow the lettuce for most of the United States. It's in the desert in California. I also invested into Village Farms. They grow the tomatoes using an air grow technique in greenhouses in Canada
Rain is the enemy of gardening. It just spreads diseases and pests, and causes the fruits to split, burst or be waterlogged and flavorless. There is a reason why our farmlands are in dry regions and then they dig channels for irrigation. Rain is just awful for growing food, unless you're growing purely tropical things. I know it flies in the face of reason, but rain and commercial farming just doesn't mix.
THANK YOU…super idea!
What's rain? Lol
Zone 9b California. No rain after March usually (this year the most recent exception). And no rain all summer until late October if we're lucky to get some then. But this is so useful for the evil botrytis that enjoys our climate in spring n fall when it's still moist n cool at night.
Great video!!
My favorite gardening channel. And I always look forward to seeing Dale.
Although I currently live in the desert, I know people who garden in humid climates, so I'm sharing this.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the channel, and Dale, of course!
Well, that fogger go up high and trees how long far does it go? Will I be able to do my fruit trees?
You've done it again 👏 right to the subject with great content delivery. I love the "fogger" approach for applications seems cover without blowing plants away. Greatly appreciate your channel since I recently discovered this year. Right from my first video I started planning my fall and next spring garden based on your info. Dale is just a handsome Boss 😍
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Dale sends his love 🐕
This is a wonderful video. Last year my baby okra plants had brown spots covering and all over the leaves. I used the H2O2 spray twice and it absolutely cured whatever was wrong with the plants. Those 26 plants were so prolific that I had more okra than I could use and shared with neighbors. They were Clemson spineless. This year I used a different type of okra that I LOVE, they were called Long Pod Okra from Hoss Tools. The pods are 10-12 inches long and still not too hard to use, so I'm impressed highly with those; and, so far I only have to cut them every 3 days instead of everyday.
I watched that RUclips video this guy swears if you cover the ground with decomposed mulch separating the soil from the something that will harm the health of the plant so use these decomposed mulch
Can I use this for fruit tree. Can u make a video about this ratio for the leafs and a ratio for soil ?
You're baaad man Millennial! Thanks.
Amazing. I just decided to use this hydrogen peroxide solution in the fogger you suggested to buy (which I did last year). I noticed powdery mildew on the tomatoes when I removed the shade cloth in the dry hot weather. Maybe from limited air circulation.
Do you suggest spraying in the surface of the ground/beds to get the spores?
This ULV Fogger is amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.
Go to Advance Eco Agriculture on youtube or call them, learn how when plants are properly grown they resists all bugs and disease. Plants are best tested for nutrients needed not soil tests.
It's true that weaker plants are more susceptible to bugs and disease. However, no plant is immune. It's not possible. Often, the fruits are susceptible as well. The only thing you can do is control the population. A lot of northern climates in the US don't face significant pest and disease pressure, so there is a lack of understanding how bad pests and diseases can be in susceptible regions.
@@TheMillennialGardener I assumed you went to that site and company and observed their videos and reports consisting of vast amounts of scientific research and actual growing plants to prove their point before you made that statement
@@safffff1000 it's not possible to breed a plant that avoids all diseases and pests. It isn't physically possible. Any nightshade or cucurbit I grow will be attacked by pests and disease - that's a fact, and it isn't arguable. Therefore, I will need some type of spraying routine no matter what I do.
@@TheMillennialGardener The plants when grown in perfect health emits tastes that the bugs don't like. That's natures way of using bugs to get rid of weak plants, I can't help it you grow weak plants. Again you don't now what your talking about because you refuse to learn new things. I have studied these guys for dozens of hours they back up everything they say. But you don't want to change.
They have 2 identical fields right next to each other one grown like yours full of bugs and the other with no bugs at all. But did you look, noooo.
The fogger is not available on amazon anymore
What about if your plant has bad bad shot hole disease???
Hi Dale. Thanks your videos are very helpful. Two questions. I bought the ULV fogger. No instructions in it. Do you clean it by running water through it?
What else do you spray with it. Is soap solution okay?
First real explanation of how the hydrogen peroxide breaks down and why it works. Thank you for this video. And, as always, Dale is precious 👍
You're welcome! I like to explain why things work more than how, because if you don't understand why you're doing what you're doing, then the information isn't really valuable.
Can that machine distribute Neiman oil?
Kudos for this advice. I did this and my plants all have come back strong. I did prune the bad stuff off but the plants all look much happier. New growth , greener. I highly reccomend spraying them with hydrogen peroxide, cheap and effective.
Nice.That is useful for me.Your effort , sir, is awesome 👍. Everybody see that you doing videos with passion.
I'm passionate gardener too.
3/4 Cup per gallon - I had to look it up...
Sadly, hydrogen peroxide is super expensive in the UK 😢£16 Gbp for 5 ltr
That's odd. It's $1 a bottle here. I wonder why.
don't wanna retrobrite your crops
This is a fantastic and informative video! Thank you so much for teaching the why and how to use it!
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful.
Can you mix copper fungicide with the H2O2?
No. If you mix the two, the hydrogen peroxide will oxidize the copper immediately and it will turn brown. Copper can only be mixed in water.
You want food grade hydrogen proxcide not the walmart stuff.
Hydrogen peroxide is not food. If you drink it, it will immediately induce vomiting. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 chemically, which rapidly degrades to H2O and O2. You don't need anything else than what's at Walmart.
Will it works for ants too?
Thank you for this valuable information. I enjoy and appreciate you money saving and practical suggestions!
I'm glad to hear the videos are helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
Wondered if you still had this mister. Long life.
Yes. I still use it. The battery doesn't hold as much of a charge anymore, but I still get 12-15 mins of use. I just used it last night.
Have you tried to use ozonated water? Ozonizers are pretty cheap, and you can make lots of ozonated water, that have a similar effect that hydrogen peroxide on pests and fungus. Also you can just water you pla ts with ozonated water, and it will kill underground pests and increase the ability of the plant to absorb nutrients
that would have to be quickly bc ozone is unstable and only last between 15-30 min on the water
@@CherishedChristianLife Yes, you need to use it in less than 30 mins after making it, but is cheap, and works
Do u still stand behind this flogger for the garden? Or has anyone else bought one? I’m thinking of getting one
Absolutely. I love it and use it every chance I can. It's one of the best investments I've made.
Where the hell are you getting a litre bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide for 99 cents???
Walmart.
It is known the that 3% bottle of H202 is not food grade and has stablers in it. Is that true?
Hydrogen peroxide is not food grade. You cannot eat it. You will induce vomiting in seconds. You're using it to sanitize your plants.
So cool! The brand you recommend is no longer available so I’m going with a different brand
I would give it a day or two. They sold a ton on Prime Day, so I’m sure they’re restocking.
Darling your videos are interesting concise and to the point….you speak fast but this old lady can understand you completely…. and believe me when I tell you I am a fussy old biddy…. So keep up the informative videos…….also from NC
I'm glad the videos are clear. I try to keep as much detail as possible in there without making the videos long.
Can you mix the h2o2 with organic soap and apply both at the same time?
I would not mix hydrogen peroxide with anything. It is very reactive. For example, if you mix hydrogen peroxide with copper, it'll turn the solution brown and you'll have to throw it all away. I strongly recommend when spraying hydrogen peroxide to keep the solution pure: only the hydrogen peroxide and water. It's the chemical decomposition that makes it valuable, and you don't want to mix anything with that that can disrupt the decomposition.
Does hydrogen peroxide affect or kill bees
It's ultra-diluted, so I wouldn't expect it to work as an insecticide.
Right on time! Thanks for the video! The fogger that l purchased during prime day sale arrived today. Excited to use it tomorrow. I have very similar conditions as yours, would like to see many videos about other spraying routines. What can we do if we have a leftover mix in the tank? Can we store it in another container or do we need to dispose it?
3% H2O2? or 6.
OK, 3%.
All willy nilly lol
Great suggestion. Keeping up with blight is so hard even though we only water at base of our tomato plants.
How do I see link to that fabric you use? All I see are bibs and couple shirts. Don’t know how to find link. Please help old guy
If you expand the video description, click on my Amazon Storefront link, which is the first link under the table of contents. Choose the GARDEN ACCESSORIES list. I have two brands of weed barrier. They are both excellent. Use whatever that fits your size and price point.
@@TheMillennialGardener had to ask kids how do I expand and wow GOT IT and that’s the fabric I see in your videos. So pleased many many thanks. Deciding on 3x100 I think. Have tiny garden but want it to look as tidy as yours. Maybe wife will let me expand garden!!
Thanks for the refresher. I kept your chart from an earlier video. 👍🏻👍🏻 and just gave your info to a fellow gardener on FB…
Glad it was helpful!
cool!
Are you sure the constant spraying isn't causing as much harm as good?
Yes. It doesn’t harm anything. It only kills the disease.
👍👍
So its safe to spray inside my bedroom?
Hydrogen peroxide? Absolutely.
This won't hurt the pollinators either.. Love it!!
Thanks for watching!
How does that copper fungicide effect the pollinators?
It doesn't. I've never had a problem.
@@TheMillennialGardener You mean it's not killing them?
Sometimes I don't know why I even grow tomatoes 😆 I love copper spray and hydrogen peroxide both for tomatoes and peach trees.
Okay, now what about us drought stricken gardeners in Central California's zone 9a? Is H2O5 still a good remedy?
