Hi Tina, I don't know of the peroxide solution you're looking for but I have some experience with damping off. There is a product called "No Damp Off" which is suppose to work miracles, but I haven't been able to find it in my area. I tried the cinnamin thing last year. It didn't help a bit (nothing like the smell of mold and cinnamin :P). A few things I've done this year: I have an overhead fan going on low all the time (air flow seems to help); don't water plants from above - let the water seep in from the bottom of the container. I also have been putting a layer of spaghum (sp)moss on the tops of the soil of my seedlings which has limited damping off significantly; I also bought a product called SAFER which is suppose to help fight off soil diseases. I have had a good experience with that so far.

Hope this helps!

"No-damp-off" is just milled sphagnum moss. I don't remember who I ordered it from--Charley's Greenhouse Supply most likely, and I ordered a 3 cu. ft. bag. I'll NEVER run out.

I do use the peroxide spray--I put 9 parts water and 1 part 3% (drugstore first aid section) hydrogen peroxide (final concentration 0.3% hydrogen peroxide) in a spray bottle. It seems to work tolerably well.

What are some of the things should I look for during the germination process using the peat planters, primarily annuals, flowers. Would also appreciate some additional advice on the use of either peroxide or tea formulas for damp off. Please advise!!
