Would you mind elaborating on damp off? I'm not exactly sure what this is.
As for the "half-strength shot of chamomile tea", how do you accomplish
this? Several list members have suggested this (in this thread and others),
but I have never been exactly sure what the deal was. Thanks.

Hmmmmm - I never scrub my trays, haven't had a dis/ease prob. yet!
Anyone else out there have disease when you don't wash yr trays???
BTW, if I raise 'em inside, the wet conditions are conducive to damp
off. To treat, I turn on the overhead fan, and give 'em all a
half-strength shot of chamomille tea.
I b'live this was Lord Byron's recommendation. And boy does it work
well -
