Do you use any dihydrogen monoxide in your garden?

Only when it doesn't rain for a while. LOL

DHMO is the most deadly substance on Earth! Be very careful when handling it!

Actually, I occasionally use dihydrogen oxide in my garden and it works great!

DHMO? Never! It causes late blight

DeanRIowa · April 1, 2010

I actually moved my garden a bit because of naturally occurring dihydrogen oxide.

My soil test shows it is already loaded with DHMO, so I will not be adding any soon. I understand it is being carried down by the rain, and in fact is a major component of acid rain. It has been found in mothers milk in our area, and has contaminated the water supply as well. Along with Hydrogen Hydroxide it seems to be everywhere. When will we learn!

My plantings will be delayed because of the solid form...!!

I'm looking for a cheap organic source. The stuff for sale in bulk around here has chemicals in it.

Only when it falls from the sky, rain today is heavily contaminated with DHMO.

I've had the same experience, my old allotment garden in Royal Tunbridge Wells suffered terribly from a DHMO vent that bubbled up after periods of heavy rain, the DHMO so saturated the soil with its leachates that nothing but mosses and slimes would grow there, anything planted there would eventually collapse. To make it worse the high sulphur content in the area meant the DHMO vent also produced a smell of rotting eggs.

I can't be bothered with that stuff. My garden has to sink or swim on its own.

I only grow organic.
