Damping off is the term used to describe a fungal infection which will decay seedlings in their early sprouting stages causing them to die off. Usually, you will find the mould in damp soil with poor ventilation that has been left in a warm area for too long, which is the perfect environment to allow fungus to multiply.
Depending on where you live in the world, wet weather is either a blessing or a curse (I’ll stick with the second one). With the cooler months upon us, keeping our garden friends happy and healthy is getting a little hard and less tempting, while their needs increase. Once you get on top of them, it’s not too much work and won’t steal a lot of time away from your cocoa and blanket-covered sofa.
