Organics rely on the micro-organisms in the soil to break down the amendments.

H202 would kill all beneficial and non beneficial life making your soil totally sterile.

Your nutrients would thus be locked into the amendments and your plants would get no food.

H202 is mainly used by hydroponic growers who feed with Chemical derived fertilizers.

These liquid fertilizers are already in a form that the plants can uptake unlike in organic fertilizers where the organisms have to eat the amendments and turn them into NPK.

John Gomez..... Xare is dead on right. Hydrogen Peroxide in organics equals death to the food chain - Mary needs. Remember it's an oxidizer as well, it will oxidize what ever it touches. If it hits young tender roots first, ouch.... roots surfaces are damaged and become less effective.
.
Micro-beasties (good bacteria & fungi) are your little 24/7 workhorses. Breaking stuff down to feed Mary..... and protecting the roots......let them Live.......

Get some BMO Super Plant Tonic. You can get it on Ebay for like $7 a bottle. You will be amazed at how great this stuff is. Filled with all kind of microbeasties and mycorrhizae fungi. I'll never let it leave my garden again! The houseplants love it too.

Grow it Green from BMO is good also, if you want a fertilizer. It has endo and ecto bacteria too. Super Plant Tonic is not a fert, but it rocks for trace minerals (all of them I think) and for use during non feeding waterings.

If you want to give the bacteria more food to help them, use some unsulphered molassass ( I use grandma's) along with the bmo stuff.
