[IBC] Andy (Hydrogen peroxide)
Which Andy?
Hydrogen peroxide is a general sterilant; if you add it to soil, it will oxidize everything. If you want a healthy soil biota, this isn't the stuff to use. Because it oxidizes everything, including soil, it is wasteful, and in the past I have advised greenhouse growers to think carefully about the circumstances for using it (table-tops, yes, soil, no). It is also more hazardous than its salespersons let on, so use gloves when handling it. I haven't heard anything about it promoting rooting, however. I'll ask around.
