I've also heard, although I can't
verify it, that sprinkling a bit of baby powder or cinnamon on the
surface of the soil will prevent damping off. Some people swear by
making a tea of chamomile blossoms and spraying the soil with it to
prevent damping off, too.

For two years I have sprinkled cinnamon on my seedling flats when
planting and have had no problems with damping off. Cinnamon is cheap
and goes a long way.

I also try to do everything else right, so who knows?

At any rate, it smells kinda nice!

Ha! Do you get the urge for a cinnamon biscuit while you're gardening?
