No.Bleach is sodium hypochlorite.Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2.Bleach is more caustic.
In reply to - burt commented on the blog post Help! I think my windowfarm requires a gardner!! Bleach is mostly hyrdogen peroxide, isn’t it?

Hello Burt.
You sound like a tinkerer.A man after my own heart.I am working on a set up to water my collection of orchids.I have also been working on a geyser hybrid setup for my pump.I would offer some advice to you but we seem to both be at the same nexus of development.Lets stay in touch though…I am intrigued by your thoughts and plans.
Phillip
In reply to - burt posted an update: I’ve bought some materials, but i haven’t really started yet. There’s soo much i still have to read up on, especially nutrients. Does anybody have a link to some basic tutorial about nutrients? Also, i’m thinking about a few mods, so i’ll just share some of it: Put the airlift tube in [...] · View -
