Re: [IGS] fungicide for seeds

     A treatment that helps keep fungus out of a seed flat or seed pan is
     to add commercial chlorine bleach (Clorox is a popular brand here in
     the States) to the water with which you moisten the seed media.  About
     a tablespoon in a gallon should do it.  Subsequent waterings,
     including pans with sprouted seedlings, can use the same dilution.

Does anyone have any rcommendations for fungicide that can be used with seeds.
The local nursery rcommended sulfur powder but to spray it I could not go near
my plants or in the garage for 24 hrs per the package. If it is important I am
using the following mixes with my seeds 50% vermiculite 50% perlite, 100%
vermiculite, 70%pumice 30% peat moss, 25% pea gravel 25% crushed brick 25% peat
25% pumice, just try to see what if any work best.
