That whenever I try to get some plants started as soon as they sprout in the paper towel they get mildew before they are sprouted enough to plant? I have so many of these damn seeds that just won't do anything. You would think that out of as many there are that one , just one...would grow
r u using paper towel method to germinate? maybe your using too much water? Mold ussually comes by when you use to much water.
if the paoer towel method is giving you problems, simply eliminate it. "IMHO" it's a wasted step, anyway. Put the seeds directly into good organic earth.
Right on g.o.d. Nature's way. Plant the seeds on their sides, 1/2" deep. Keep the soil moist, not soaked.
