I googled pix of algal mat. Are you talking about the green moss-like stuff
that sometimes grows on top of the soil around seedlings? If so, I sprinkle
powdered cinnamon on mine and, I don't know if it kills or inhibits the algal
mat, but all my seedlings do fine, and I've never lost any due to the green
stuff.
