Many gardeners have learned from their own experience that cheap products from the pharmacy are much more effective than those from gardening supply stores.
One of such means, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is penny hydrogen peroxide.
For example, it can be used to speed up seed germination.
To achieve the set goal, that is, better germination, the seed material should be soaked in 3% peroxide.
It softens the seed coat and thereby increases germination and accelerates the germination of even old seeds of tomatoes, corn and other crops.
This method is especially relevant for slow-germinating seeds, which include zucchini, pumpkin, pepper, eggplant, etc.
If the seeds were sown without pre-soaking, then after sowing it is recommended to water the soil with a solution of 250 ml of water and a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide.
This simple procedure also speeds up the germination process.
