GARDEN WATERING

Proper watering is essential in any garden.  The water should be salt-free (some ground water contains salts) and provide oxygen.  The reason plants respond so well to rainwater is that it contains oxygen in the form of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2).  Hydrogen Peroxide is unstable and gives up 1- oxygen atom easily.  That is why after a good rain plants typically have a growing and producing spurt.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. 

The chemical shorthand formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2.  That means 2-Hydrogen atoms are bound to 2-Oxygen atoms, and that makes an unstable molecule because it has 1 more oxygen atom than water.  The extra oxygen atom is freely given up putting oxygen into the soil.  That is why hydrogen peroxide is so beneficial for watering plants.  Water enriched with H2O2 gives up much more oxygen than rainwater and greatly increases crop yields.

APPLICATION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.

There are two forms of Hydrogen Peroxide that can be used in gardening.  There is 3% available in pharmacies, which is commonly used as a disinfectant, and 35% food grade available on the internet.  In a small garden use 6 ounces of 3% per gallon of water.  In larger gardens or commercial operations mix 16 ounces of 35% H2O2 with 20 gallons of water per acre.  The H2O2 enriched water can be applied before a rain, before irrigation, or without additional watering.
