Hi..Its now nearly time to get seeds growing so I went to my garden centre to buy
sphagnum moss....I was asked "what do you want that for?" (to plant my seeds) ...Thats no good its probably diseased...who told you to use sphagnum moss"........(Mr.Google via Corniel University) "do not read everything that those Americans tell you"

I presume one can take precautions when using sphagnum moss....Surely it can be treated ....

I would welcome any ideas on how best to do it or an alternative....

Thankyou Mk
