Hi All,

Some of my seedling trays have a faint green color to the soil. I'm assuming this is moss. Is this bad for the seedlings, should I do something about it?

What caused this? [dunno]

It's from the soil being constantly moist. Allow the surface to just dry out to the touch before watering again. Air circulation will also help as will a light covering on the soil with coarse sand or vermiculite. It shouldn't be a problem if the seedlings are gonna be planted out soon.

The secret is the soil.

Thanks Longy
That's what I thought, we're usually planting out by May long weekend.
It's mostly on my marigold's soil so I'm going to dry them out a bit.
