Sowing seeds
Hello all!
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this topic but here it goes. Last year I bought somes seeds from 5 different acer palmatum cultivares. I did all the steps needed (stratification, etc..) to germinate the seeds and after 4 months in the freezer many of the seeds were already germinating. I put them in small pots with 1/3 gravel, 1/3 akadama and 1/3 garden soil. However only 3 grow up. I think it was because of fungus. These year I want to repete the experience with some acers and other kind of trees like prunus serrulata. However I want to minimize the danger from fungus. Is there any antifungal that I can use during the time the seeds stays in the freezer and in the soil when I pass them to a pot?
Thanx all....

Sowing Seeds
There are several fungicides that are used to prevent what we call damping-off, but you would have to ask at a nursery or garden center to find out what is available in Portugal, or do some fancy Googling.
Can you get fish emulsion fertilizer? A scientific study found that if you mix fish emulsion with your potting soil and leave it for a month, it greatly reduces harmful soil fungi.
