Re: luplins and delphinims from seed


Dear seed-listers,

I have an emergency situation here in my basement.  I have started 
probably 8 flats of annuals and perennials, and they all look great, I 
get great germination, and then all of a sudden, one day I'll look in and 
all of the new leaves will be chewed off, and little stems left standing.

I know I have fungus gnats, but I thought that since it was the larvae 
that caused the damage, that the problem will happen at the soil line.

I use all new soil, vermiculite and perlite, and a little bit of sphagnum 
moss.  I washed my pots out with lysol.

Can you give me an idea of what might be happening?  I'm tired of losing 
all my seed!!

Thanks
