missuscluck Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 We have got one of those wooden pot maker things but to be honest you can do them yourself. I have got lots of seeds on the go in mine and the only small problem I have had is them going a bit mouldy when I use them in a heated propogator. However I think peat pots would probably do the same. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffymuppet Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The secret to getting rid of the mould is to water your seedlings with a weak solution of (cold!) chamomile tea. I generally use one tea bag in a litre of water. Chamomile has anti-fungal properties, and works against the damping off fungus that kills seedlings, too.

Olly Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 This is why I love the Omlet forum - TWO top tips in one thread! That is the clearest picture I've ever seen of how to make the pots, I reckon even I will be able to do that (after several attempts!). I didn't know that about chamomile tea - that's amazing. Thank you, Debs13 and fluffymuppet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Good advice indeed, mine went a bit mouldy last year, I thought it may have been the weather Will have to get some chamomile tea bags, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanie Bean Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Oh I like the look of those, If I can manage to fold a Terry's I'm sur I can fold those. I've seen this thread at just about the right time of year too. Thanks for that, I've got some camomile tea in the cupboard too.
