Default Mouldy pots

Some of the seeds I planted last weekend were in newspaper and loo roll middles. Some of the loo roolls have started to go mouldy. Any suggestions as how to stop this? Bernie aka Dexterdog

It's just the damp cardboard Bernie - it happens I'm afraid there are things you can use but they're not very organic

slow down on your watering. No mould here!

Thanks for that guys! I did think I may have overwatered them slightly! Good to know that the seedlings (when they grow!) will be OK. Bernie aka Dexterdog

Some of mine are mouldy but I just ignore it.
