FLUFFY WHITE MOULD ON LOO ROLLS!!

Hi....


I have started some seeds in loo rolls and the rolls are now covered with white mould.
Should I discard these seeds and start again?
Is there anything I can do to get rid of the mould?
Is there a preventative cure for the mould?

Thanks
Jazz

I grew sweetcorn in loo rolls last year and they went mouldy. I still planted them and all came up fine and dandy. I did take the loo roll off the compost before planting out though.

Thanks for all your answers.

I will keep them and see how they turn out. I was thinking of using root trainers but they are so expensive!!

i tried to grow with loo rolls last year,,, resutls werent that good,also  tried egg boxes ...was a complete waste of time,

yep, it's over-watering that causes it, well that's what I found. The loo rolls are fine and you plant the whole lot out.  I use them for broad beans, runner beans and sweetpeas and conveniently the roll is the same size as my bulb planter which I use to make a planting hole

Re-use and recycle. You know it makes sense 

I used them last year for beans and sweetcorn and I got some REALLY interesting fungi growing on mine :blink: - a bit like those monkeys ears - but the plants all turned out fine, didn't seem to suffer from them. One thing I did find, and posted on here about, was that after I planted them out the bean plants went quite yellow. In the end it was agreed that it was the decomposing cardboard depleting the soil of nitrogen (seemed to make sense) and after a few doses of feed they greened up again. This year I will peel off the excess card before planting.

Thanks Wayne that was interesting info:)
