No Germination> Powdery Mildew> Collar-Rot> Moss> - ANTS - Slugs and Snails> Caterpillars or Grubs> Cutworms> Grasshoppers> Aphids> Birds> Possums> Cats> Uneven Growth> Weeds> I am not sure but things do not look right>
Ants can use our boxes of seedlings to nest. Their diet includes seeds so check for evidence they are around your boxes.
Solution:-
Ants - keep ants off the boxes - they are expert seed collectors! You can put containers of water under the legs of your bench to stop ants climbing up.
If you have any other problems, or have any questions about propagating you seedlings, please contact your area coordinator. Remember – be vigilant!
