    moss on compost in plug trays

    i have several new plug trays filled with compost and i have seeds sown the seedlings germinated but the surface of the compost has a green moss like plant growing on it .the tunnel is well ventilated i tried keeping the compost on the dry side in an attempt to stop the moss growing with no sucess they have good light

    Stop watering. Moss only grows where it is too wet.

      Yep, the school sweet peas have succumbed to moss. Children LOVE watering

        I pop a little bit of vermiculite on top of my seed's/seedlings I find this helps keep the moss problem at bay.

          i use vermiculite too, especially at this time of the year when the plants really don't use as much water as I would think they do
