is a hydrogen wash safe for weed plants? i was told 1 part hydrogen to 4-5 parts water.
Yes, it's safe for the plant. But, it's a disinfectant, which isn't good for microbes in the soil. The stuff you buy at the store is 3%. Mixing 1 part to 5 parts is 0.5%. I germinate (soak) in that. It has a little fizz/bubble action.
Mosquito dunks (2" diameter round donuts) are supposed to work well. It's a non-toxic bacterial harmful to larvae.
I've read that panty hose covering the bottom of a container (drain holes) and diatomacious earth dressed on the top is effective control. The de cuts them up as they get into the soil to lay eggs. I found a bag at Home Depot or Lowes, but haven't tried it yet.
I use the yellow fly-trap sticky thing. That seems to keep them under control. I still have some occasionally, but no population explosions since I started using the sticky stuff (either the strip of sticky tape, or
the folding card <<link. I like the latter better.).
