Comments (11)I have several echinacea varieties, but have the best luck with 'Prairie Splendor' when deadheading. There are others here who can probably address results with other varieties. I get rebloom on the others, but the blooms are typically smaller than first bloom. On Prairie, I get blooms that are the same size (though not as many nor as tall as the first bloom). My PS bloomed from May through October with deadheading. Everything else had given up! I planted the zinnias from May through mid-July. However, I never had to pull out any plants in midsummer as the Benary's Giant bloom and bloom as long as you cut back to a leaf node. I had zinnias until October that were over 4 feet tall. Prairie Splendor can be grown true from seed. Seeds planted directly in late fall or winter bloomed in late summer the following year. There will be some interesting colors that appear as the Benary's Giant bloom so long and the cross-pollination is rampant with butterflies and bees!...See More7. Aeration - hydrogen peroxide
Comments (0)The following are tips provided by Garden Web Hydroponics forum users on peroxide. Posted by edurink on Mon, Feb 16, 04 at 6:34 Has any one of you ever used hydrogen peroxide to compensate for oxygen loss at high temperatures? How much do you use? Scottplumerias I have used it to clean up the water. I put in much more than they say to without ill effects... I use the 3% bottles from the drug store. It can get expensive, however. I also have the air bubblers. Scott UpRootedNortherner Scott, how much do you use? i.e., tablespoons per gallon? mycarbumps I use it to kill algae, I use about 1/2 cup-1 cup in 6 gallons of water. I use a higher concentration in my dorm room hydroponic system. I have yet to "overdose" my plants. MAKE SURE: you are using 3% NOT a higher concentration or you will burn you plants and your skin. (Note:mycarbumps also recommends: Add hydrogen peroxide to the water - about 3 tbsp to a gallon of water). willard3 All municipal water systems with old piping have slime mold. H202 kills slime mold and lots of other stuff, including algae. I use 4 tbsp/gal of water and let is sit for 4 hrs before I use it with plants. 500-1000 ppm is the recommended concentration of 3% solution. UpRootedNortherner Do you think it is safe to use a little H202 in an aerocloner? I'm thinking maybe one or two tablespoons per gallon? mycarbumps I think its safe. hydro_nerd How long does the "algae killing" effect of the 3% peroxide last? Is adding the peroxide something I do one time (unless I change the water), or do I need to repeat it now and then for routine maintenance of the system? mycarbumps it is routine maintenance. I add it every 3-5 days. whenever I think of it. hydrogen peroxide is H202, that means it is water with an extra O1 attached. this oxygen is unstable and quickly breaks down into pure water and O2 gas. The O2 is where all the benefits come from and the "waste" is just plain water. You could add it as often as every 3-4 days or as infrequently as when you see algae growth. either way it is helpful. asianhydro What kind of system are you using? I tried using H202 food grade (35%) at 100 ppm everyday other day. It seems to work well under Tagaytay conditions in NFT (rectangular pvc). I though of it to control Cercospora leaf spot in lettuce and there has been a big improvement in the crop ever since. After every growing cycle, we clean the tank with it at 150 ppm. (Note: Tagaytay conditions refers to growing in a tropical climate). willard3 I keep a 5 gal reservoir of water treated at 500 ppm H202 for topping up nutrients. I also treat water for reservoir change every 2 wks w/500 ppm and let it sit. I do not treat operating reservoir, only the water I'm adding or changing and I have not had any pathogens in nutrients in 10 yrs. Scottplumerias I use about 9 tablespoons per gallon. I would notice it would work for me for about 4 days or so. How do you measure parts per million? How much is 500 parts per million? It is said to kill pythium but not when already in tissue. Then you need systemic fungicide. Of course I don't grow food crops so I dont worry about it. edurink I have in my notes, an explanation made by Dr. Lynette Morgan. I thought it is a very clear and simple explanation of PPM. "1 part per million (ppm) is 1 milligram (mg) per liter (l). Therefore, to calculate the amount of solid to dissolve in water, the ppm required is the amount in mg per l (mg/l); 1 mg=1/1000 grams (g)."...See Moredo you think repeated tilling is harmful?
Comments (52)Lauren, If I could go back to the beginning of my garden, I would have hired somebody with a tiller to break it all up once. This would have collapsed the gopher holes, loosened the dirt, etc. My vegetable garden is done in a potager style with permanent beds. Most are not technically raised because I could have spent a small fortune on wood for the size of garden I wanted, not to mention the cost of soil amendments. My beds are double dug and lined with hardware cloth to keep the gophers out. Digging those beds out would have been much easier if the area had been tilled first. We are currently expanding the garden and the good news for me is I have 2 teenagers to press into service when it comes to the digging. I will agree that there can be more flexibility without permanent beds, should you desire to change the design of the area on a whim. The Art of the Kitchen Garden is a wonderful book where they show some different design possibilities. The authors actually till it up and do a new design each year, so it may be something to look into if you like the aesthetics. Part of me would like to do it, but I have enough going on that I may not have the mental energy to devote to a new design each year. I have checked that book out from the library many times so your library may have a copy as well but I also see Amazon has a used copy for less than $1. Have fun in the design process....See MoreILoveRed
