Alternatively, what sort of compost are you using? I had a lot of
trouble once with a peat free compost (New Horizons) and cured it by
going back to a peat based compost (Levingtons).


B&Q John Innes Seed Compost - this is the first year I have used it.

I never have probs.........green fingers?
30/32, one inch high in one week. Used JI potting compost, unheated
propogator on chest of draws in bedroom. Watered once mid week. They were
free seeds from magazines....Golden Pearl, and Moneymaker.



Yes - that is more or less what I did last year - bedroom window sill
until pot on time.

They seem to be susceptible to the problem when in the green house.
That's why I wondered if the fungus is already there - but not in my
bedroom :-)
