Going to try and start some hot pepper seeds again this year. Last year
near the beginning I got lots of mold. I also did not soak. Took over 6
weeks before I goy any sprouts. Too cool downstairs. I'm going to try a
tray and use a cover this time watching wetness, upstairs where it warmer.
Any tips?

Start seeds in soil that has been heated (sterilized) to 180 F for at
least 30 min. This will greatly reduce damping off.

I used to do that with unknown soil. I figured bagged soil was ok, but that
reminds me of stories of living snakes in bagged soil!!
