Here are some of the sites that I have looked at about the topic:

So what is the plan? The right side of the garden is going to be receiving a solution using 3% H2O2 at a ratio of 1/2 cup per gallon of water. I will also use stronger solutions as recommended for disease control etc. I will also use a special solution to soak the seed before planting them which is supposed to make them germate quicker and healthier.
The left side of the garden will receive regular water. And commercially available "organic" disease fighters, etc.
Both sides will get the same firtalizers, compost, etc. On days that it rains, then they will both get rain water - duh!
I will use this space largely as a diary of what, when, and how with pictures whenever i think about it or get around to it.
So with all that crap out of the way, where are we at today? I planted Lettuce seeds - don't know the type off the top of my head, I'll look 'em up and put that up later - two weeks ago on 4/7 and they have been regularly watered since. They have all germinated and are standing at about 1/4-1/2". Yesterday (4/13) I began watering each side of the garden independently as stated above - the right with the H2O2 solution and the left with good old fashioned tap water straight from the hose as God intended :) Today was cool - about 55 F and rainy all day - kind of a long soaking misty then rainy then misty kinda day. So much for having a nice week or so long run of being able to really get things going, huh. I guess that would have been just to damn much to ask for. Alas - we work with what we got all in the name of the most unscientific science we can think of :) I will put up a starting picture tomorrow.
