Kimberly,
You are probably right. I knew that one of them were true but wasn't sure. I
only recently have started growing herbs. I focus mainly on veggies and
flowers.

Thanks for the info. I usually don't have problems with damping off but it
doesnt hurt to be informed.

I have that book and have used it on particular things but have yet to read
it cover to cover. Have you read the "sequel". Its called "Roses Love
Garlic" I believe. I haven't purchased it yet but it looks to be just as
good.
