HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
Hydrogen peroxide, bleach, vinegar, and other
household chemicals sometimes make their way
into the garden. Many of these are incompatible.
For example, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide
together create peracetic acid, which can harm
you if sufficiently concentrated, while bleach and
many acids release chlorine gases when mixed.
Even carpet, which is a material made of many
chemicals, can create toxins when saturated with
another chemical. These incompatibilities can
become an issue when making homemade
growroom remedies. Just because a mixture
is recommended on a website is no reason to
assume it will be safe when you make it. Many
of these formulas have not been sufficiently
studied. A website presenting a home remedy
should clearly point out the possible dangers
or unintended consequences if the mixing is not
done properly. The instructions should also
make it clear the exact quantities to mix and
at what temperature. Less than this would not
be responsible. Of course, you can always opt
to buy premixed products, which have been
studied and mixed at safe levels for use.
