But when do you see weed seedlings damping off?


Do you go out and count the weed seedlings? Maybe loads damp off but
you only see the ones that grow big enough to be seen.

Have you ever seen a dandelion seedling? If so, please post a pic as
I'd like to know what to look for and nip it in the cotyledon so to
speak.

You will find it very hard to tell the differance between Letuce,
Chicory or Dandelion seedlings, you have to wait for a fer trueleaves
tro be able to tell with any certainty.
