Interesting because this has not been my experience. In fact, I have a pot of seedlings in pure DE that damping off is racing through right now. It has been the bane of my seed starting this year regardless of what I try.

About the only thing I haven't tried is a pre-sow soak in bleach to eliminate any seed borne inoculum.
