Stolen Idea!

Thanks for the good word on the hydrogen peroxide, Jeff!

And may the 'Force' be with you! (Good healing vibes)

Yes, I wish I had all of the money I spent years ago on Oxygen Plus. Same thing and they still sell it.

Yes,.....thanks Jeanette for giving me the H202 thread..as I was able to save my 12 foot potted Papaya tree, the mother to all my other trees. She would have died this winter from root rot if I did not do the H202 treatment. This is a picture of her through the kitchen window. Having a potted papaya bearing fruit is a very rare thing- they do not do well in pots past 6 feet.

I am going to use the H202 baggie method to sprout papayas, heralds trumpet, pea vines, more morning glories, hibiscus -- and for the H202 of it, I will try some Holly Hocks -- (and report to Susan :)
I will document with pictures like I have the morning glories for those interested in the progression.

..thanks Robin..I will add those to my journal..

Speaking of which...Those of you who are interested, I have compiled a list of links concerning H202, including the ones Robin just listed. I have also linked H202 threads. Please feel free to visit, and if you would like to contribute more information - I will be happy to add them. Listed under my Journal in the category Off the Shelf Garden tips H202/Aspirin and..?

I will be trying this method on some Asclepias tuberosa seed which normally has a 50% germination rate.

John

Are you going to post your results?? That would be helpful.
Thanks
Rj

You bet!

How did you know I was going to start them too?

~* Robin

With a 50% germ. rate they would seem to be good test of the method. Doncha thank?

John

Does anyone know where I can buy food grade H202? 30%-50% would be great to have around for so many uses. I have a friend in British Columbia who buys it over the counter as bleach. I called a few agricultural places today with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks, JD

JD, I bought mine from Garden of Eden, addy below. Really irked me that I had to spend so much for something I should be able to buy locally, but that's the breaks. I've had mine a year, used very little and it is still as fresh as the day it arrived. Good luck!!!!!

Nevermind, I found 1 site on my 1st click. Hopefully I can find more just as easily. Here is 1 link that states it's product is pure implying many other companies dilute with questionable impurities.

I buy my H2O2 from our local health food store for $21.99 a pint
for food grade 35%.
Hope this helps- might eliminate a shipping charge.

Louise

Texas Lou, wouldn't have thought of a Health Food Store. Thanks,

Jeanette

Got my superthrive!! :)

Yea!!

Susan

Susan, did you get it at Walmart? How much did you get and for how much?

Jeanette

Enjoyed reading your journel, RJ. Thank you for the reminder about starting seeds in baggies. Have never started seeds this way. I do use Hydrogen Peroxide when I water my plants and also in my seed starting mix. It seems to work great for me and alot cheaper than Damp Off.
:) Donna

Thankyou! I have just started using the baggies myself. I am also starting to use the H202 with regular watering. It was very difficult to get accross the mental barrier - It was like thinking about pouring alcohol to me. I am glad you mention the h202 in the seed starter kit,...because. I bought one yesterday with the intention of using the H202 plus superthrive formula with it. The possibilities...yeah!
rj

Jnette, I got it at an small local bonsai grower who was originally from California and he used it there and loved it. i got a small bottle for around $7-8. Of course I told him all about messenger.. I'm just a messenger spokesperson!! You can send a check to the Superthrive maker and they will send it to you if you can't find it locally.

I watered my poor garaged tropicals and they really perked up!! I know that water alone would have done them some good, but they just look great after using the superthrive.

Susan

Yes Susan, Superthrive is a great help. If you got it for $7 - $8 you must have gotten the 4 oz bottle. For some crazy reason the people that are selling the 2 oz bottle are charging $9. Think they read something backwards. Maybe Dyslexia. LOL

I can't say enough good about Superthrive and 1 other product I use along with it called "Maxicrop" which is a liquified seaweed + some other goodies. The 2 combined work miracles imo, I use them mixed with H202 aswell. Those products make my rooting/cuttings a great success which in turn has my friends and nieghbor's thinking I'm some sort of botanical genious!LOL
JD

Oh gee, I thought you were a botanical genius!!
:)

Susan

LOL A genius that couldn't even properly spell "GENIOUS"! lol More like a botanical meathead;)

Oh, that good Ole "Flower Power!!!

If we only knew then; what we know now...... LOL!

~* Robin

Hey, if it makes you feel better, I was following your lead until I used spellcheck.net just to make sure!! :)

Susan

How are you doing, Jeff?

Why thanks for asking about my well being. I'm doing as good as can be expected I reckon. My surgery date was changed to 2-8-06 and I've been administering IV Vancomyacin(antibiotics) twice daily for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm really happy that they were able to arrange for home administering this time. Last go around, I spent 2-3 weeks just sitting in a hospital bed so I could get the same antibiotic treatments.
I've made a huge list of things I need to get done in an effort to prepare for a 3-4 week hospital stay, it's hard to try to figure out such a list. I need to get as much done as possible to lesson the burden on my wife and daughter while I'm laid up. Hopefully this will make life a little less stressful for them and they won't feel guilty for working at home when they think they should be visiting me. There is just so much to try to get done and the days pass so quickly.
I'm also struggling to keep all the beneficial bacteria that reside in our bodies alive and working properly. This antibiotic I'm on is 1 of the 3 strongest known and just kills everything it gets to, good and bad. That makes things "interesting" for a lack of better words. Somehow it makes conditions prime for varying kinds of yeast infections that pop up in the oddest places. It's just gross but something I need to keep in mind and try to get ahead of.
There are many more little tidbits of info I'll leave out for now;)
I'm trying to figure out a way to have computer access while I'm in the hospital. My mother in law has a really cool laptop I'm going to borrow and hopefully I'll be able to connect to the hospitals wireless connections. I can't imagine life with out the internet these days! LOL 10 some years ago, I couldn't imagine having/wanting or needing a PC for anything. Irony is a very funny thing;)
That's all for now, thanks again for asking;)
I'll keep you posted,
JD

JD, know what you mean about the yeast infections. The first time I faced that problem in the hospital I refused to leave the hospital until they got that cleared up because I didn't go in there with it. The surgeon was mad because he wanted to make a big splash by getting me out of there in 3 days since hip replacements at that time had to stay 5 days. So he didn't bother sending a Gyn around to see me for 3 days.

Guess he showed me. LOL

You certainly have more patience than I would. And it is nice that you can do that treatment at home. Anything at all instead of going to the hospital. Have you talked to the hospital or the dr. about getting a hookup for the laptop?

(((JLD)))

Hugs JLD!! Thinking of you and yours!! I just got to read this, hope your surgery goes well. My bro was in hospital (Cancer of blood - modern technology!) and rented a laptop for the month. Shouldn't be a prob, but suggest you talk to your hosp/dr before you go to make sure they have ability to do. ~ Suzi :)

Hello friends;)
I'm a bit of a mess, very tired and soreBUT I'm alive. I just thought I'd test this connection and say hello.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I have a long road in front of me.
Thanks,JD

Yay! Good to hear from you. Get well soon. Have they got you up and walking yet?

Howdy Jeff, glad you are awake and alive and a member here.
Sidney

I will continue to send lots of light and positive energy your way. I am so impressed by your courage and your consideration of others despite all you have to go through. May your healing process exceed all your expectations. (((JLD)))

Great news Jeff and wonderful to hear from you!!! I'm really happy you managed a computer setup. Wishing you a swift and complete recovery...

Prayers for you JD! Lots of love and hugs for you too! :)

Susan

LOLOL Katy...I always get a lil chuckle when people forget or don't realize I'm a paraplegic;). I haven't done much walking in 13 some years:).
it's going to be a minimum of 2-3 weeks before I'll be allowed to sit upright or the sutures would tear out. This darn infection ate away enough tissue that the doc had to stretch over more skin and muscle to fill/cover it up. I'll have to let it heal and then begin stretching it to size very very slowly. What a drag huh? I wished they could put me inna coma for a few weeks then get up go.lol no such luck.
Well I'm gonna try to get some sleep.
Thanks friends!
JD

Sweet dreams, JD.

Sorry JD, I was ignorant. Dear friend in Tahoe has same problem after a car accident. He is a very brave young man! My prayers and very best wishes are with you. ;~)
