<h3>Disinfect Growing Medium</h3>
</li>

<p>You can use washed river sand if you disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide, instead of using perlite and vermiculite. Use this chemical solution (3% to 6%) to destroy soil pathogens when you make a potting mix with compost, sand, and other additives. Soak the sand with this solution and cover it with a plastic sheet.</p>

<li>
<h3>Sanitize Seeds</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Disinfect seeds before you sow them because in that way you will stop seed-borne pathogens to kill off young seedlings. For all types of seeds, it is recommended soaking in 3% hydrogen peroxide heated to 1400F for 5 minutes. Then, wash off the chemical by placing the seeds in plain running water at room temperature for a minute.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Boost Root Development</h3>
