Three percent Hydrogen Peroxide may be added at up to three ml's per liter (2 12 tsp. Per gallon), but it is recommended that you start at a lower concentration and increase to full strength over a few weeks.

Note: ferfer72's answer is for dilution of 35% H2O2 which would then be utilized in myrab51's mixture of 2.5 teaspoons per gallon of water for direct application.
