I have treated my greenhouse with 15 bottles of 25 liters (about 100 gallons) of hydrogen peroxide at 30 and 50%. With 2% concentration using dosatron. In the photo there are only 9 bottles, because I used 6 to store cheap diesel for my Kubota... lol... I did soil analysis in January, it had several pathogens, the analysis was with pcr technique. In a few days, when the floor dries, I'll do a new analysis, and I'll know if the peroxide has disinfected the floor. I added it dripping, most of it, and the rest with nebulization to thoroughly disinfect the entire greenhouse. According to the canna technicians I spoke with, peroxide is very effective for disinfecting, but you have to wet everything very well, to a good depth. now before I put the 2 watermelons, I will colonize the soil with beneficial bacteria and fungi. The cost? about 700$, very expensive, yes...but it is more expensive to spend a season without planting anything, in the times we live in, with such an uncertain future, we have to do what we like, it is good for the body and the mind.
