leslie are you planning to soak them in tea first? or hydrogen peroxide? then spraying w/camomille tea?

these articles might be food for thought before you embark on your journey?

The thread "Hydrogen Peroxide for Gardening" in Seeds forum

here's a quote i got from the nga site on preventing damping off.
"Jay,
I have found that Chamomile tea works the best to prevent damping off. Just steep two bags in a tea pot until it is room temp. Transfer to a spray bottle and spray your seedling. Or water seedlings with the tea. I've been doing this for years and never had damping off so I think it works. Once the seedling get a few sets of leaves they should be ok and not so vulnerable to damping off"

edited: to say i just found these articles last evening. found the dilution chart most helpful, plus the warnings about misuse of extra strength.
