Ah yes, agree that the healthy soil and all is an excellent start, we all
strive to ne there,
but we also have a strong contingent here for ther fact that the many
causes of damp off are
ever present and require constant attention. Then, have we have overlooked
another part of the
original presentation?
I am doubting that those problems are common to seed from all those highly
regarded
seed companies and would like coments on that area.

""I fed the seedlings a high calcium, high phosphorus, micronutrient
mix with some carbs and problems immediately stopped and plants regained their vigor. I have some friends germinating tomatoes for retail sales and 5 days after emergence it is pale and weak and damping off despite the same ideal conditions as above. I thought seed had 21 days worth of food stored up inside. These new baby plants are horribly malnourished at an early age. I am talking about seed from virtually every supplier; Johnnies, Burpee, Wild Garden, Baker Creek, Ball, Seed Savers, etc. Is agronomic practices among seed growers really that bad? Why am I having to rescue these plants at 5 days after emergence? I don't mind if seed growers use various chemicals to protect their crops but at some point they have to feed the plants. Are things really this bad or is it just me? I can't figure out what could possibly be wrong that results are this disappointing this fast. Any thoughts? Bill Chicago area, 5b I think. They changed the map again."" 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
