there seems to be a
problem with damping off and/or mold growing on the Jiffy
pellets. i was suspicious that the mold might be growing on
the food coloring, but the control is also getting 'fuzz' on
the peat pellet. anyway, if the plants keep damping off, he
can't really prove anything with his experiment.

For years I've used a light dusting of cinnamon over my seed trays to
prevent damping off. Cinnamon is anti-fungal, non toxic, works great.
