Seed-starting

I am really terrible at it! For three years now I've started seeds and to date I've lost nearly all of my seedlings to damping-off. I planted seeds a few days back. The borage seeds are just starting to sprout and already I can see the thin white hairs that indicate damping-off. I have the seedling tray sitting in on the sill of an open window. I put a few drops of garlic water on the hairs themselves to try to curb the growth until the soil dries out enough to kill the fungus. At least I have plenty of seeds year - guess I'll just continue to practice until I finally get it right.
