Thanks Camprn, great information for those of us starting our seedling indoors right now.

Thanks. Cinnamon sprinkling commencing! Smells good too.
Nothing has keeled over but I see fungus growing on some of the potting soil.

Ugg! I was not careful (as usual) and have lost two tomatoes to damping off. Tea and cinnamon.... I'll try it!

~~Have you considered sterilizing the soil? It's easy to do.~~

Sorry...didn't see it was part of the link until after!

I use chamomile tea and mist it on.I do this as soon as I plant the seed.
