Damping-off: 2 Me: 16
The casualties: 1 giant grey-stripe sunflower seedling, 1 borage seedling.
But the battle's not over yet. I had to do some research tonight on 'natural' prevention and have three methods I'm going to try.
1. Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on soil, only needs to be done once. Done.
2. Water with chamomile tea at 2x normal drinking strenth. Brewing now.
3. One cup hydrogen peroxide to one gallon of water. Tomorrow's project.
If I have to, I may give in and buy something made to prevent damping off. I would rather not spray my little seedlings with chemicals but if it means no seedlings at all...
