Would you mind elaborating on damp off? I'm not exactly sure what this is. As for the "half-strength shot of chamomile tea", how do you accomplish this? Several list members have suggested this (in this thread and others), but I have never been exactly sure what the deal was. Thanks. Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.

Anyone else out there have disease when you don't wash yr trays??? BTW, if I raise 'em inside, the wet conditions are conducive to damp off. To treat, I turn on the overhead fan, and give 'em all a half-strength shot of chamomille tea. I b'live this was Lord Byron's recommendation.
