I know Hydrogen Peroxide. But I've read 1 Tablespoon per gallon AND per QUART! Which is best?

Not to mention that 1 part hydrogen peroxide in 20 parts water I saw on another thread..... that's nearly 1 Tb per cup!

I'm going with 1 Tb. to 1 qt. water. So far, so good.

I've been using 1 oz per quart (2TBSP) or 1/2 cup HP per gallon.
You can use a 5% solution as well and that would be what critterologlist mentions (actually 19 parts water and one part HP) which works to be roughly 1TBSP in 1 1/4 cups water.

Well, it puts oxygen back in the soil. Can actually help overwatered plants.
It also cuts down on fungi. I'm sure Caron can tell us better.
