    This will help you get a great start on your workout plan. I can whole-heartedly recommend alll five of the product
    lines reviewed inn this article. Toner is usyally equated with an alcohol-based product.

    I’ll add to the chamomile tea believers (though coming late to this post, I suppose I’m a just in believer – groan!). It’s also good for more than just preventing damping off! Shameless plug for my own blog about it at http://www.rivendellgarden.co.uk/?p=275

    I tried using chamomile tea in a sprayer on my plants. It seemed to work well. I had a lupine that developed mould on the seed coat; I sprayed chamomile on it, and it’s doing fine. I’d give it a try; I’m a believer.

    Nice information and some good ways to avoid it. Still smiling at the choice of newspaper and subsequent comments … Lol

    LOL re: The Daily Mail! I guess we want plants to grow up with common sense and good taste after all. What happens to plants if we make seedling pots out of The Sun or The Daily Star?

      yes indeed…and being that most of the flowers I sell are ‘immigrants’…the daily mail wouldn’t approve. ;)

    Oh, just had another thought….I like the idea of homemade pots, but everyone and their dog in the neighbourhood gives me pots after they’ve planted as they all buy, so perhaps feel the extra need to save the world, hehe…Wonder if maybe before I plant I do the usual sterilization, but line the pots in newspaper as well?
    I forgot to mention that a light mist of drop of bleach in the water was working until the cold cloudy days came…but now there is not enough warmth to dry the soil surface at all ….As you say, soon they’ll be tough enough to fight it but need to get them to that stage…

      you could line the pots…but maybe it’s unnecessary and extra work? I shall try a few and see how they go. :) Thx for posting…send us some pics of your successes. :)

    You made me giggle…I just shook cinnamon on the surfave of my many starter flats…as I had bleached the pots and used good soil, so believe the turnaround in the weather back to the big chill is the major culprit. It may help to keep the surface dry until some sun returns…In the meantime, the house smells lovely.
    Do, however plan to pick up some camomile tea…thanks for the advice. Have tried peroxide in the past, but just ended up with bleached blond non-permanent waves…..

    Hi Ben — A very experienced Canadian gardener (CannedAm) I know has had confirmed and brilliant success with chamomile tea. She brews it, dilutes it, pours it into a spray bottle, then mists her plants! LOVE this article! Cheers!
