Good advice Susan,
I did hear something similar. Also the most important part; how are you hosta seedlings doing?
Paul,
I use my fish tank water all the time. On my cactus seedlings that I posted on the C & S forum, I used not only the water but some of the brown waist from sand cleaning. It did turn my soil a whitish look but to no problems.
Before I start a seed growing. I microwave my soil with a plastic wrap covering. Risky but I watch very carefully. Needs only a minuet. Let cool back down and always did good for me. Soil must be damp, not moist.
