Default Using the fibre pots

The message
from "Donna UK" contains these words:

Hi All


I am trying to grow my tomatoes in the fibre pots in a propagator on the
window cill. I noticed that the pots have a horrible hairy grey
mould, will
this hurt the seeds and is this normal?


It happens.

It is not good.

Though without examining the mould, I couldn't say it was bad.

Buy a fungicide such as Murphy's Dynocap and make a dilute solution. Add
some of this to what you water the plants with. You can also spray the
outside of the pots with the fungicide. (Hand sprayers are very cheap in
most hardware shops, garden centres, etc.)
