Subject: milled sphagnum / agar for germinating drosera?

hi guys
since id been experiencing problems with green slime and moss growth on
a recent batch of peat moss, i decided to plant some drosera seed on a
new batch of canadian peat, topped with 1 cm of "no damp off" by mosser
lee = dead milled sphagnum. i was wondering if anyone else has used
this to germinate drosera seed. if so, i would like to know if you had
much luck. i would also like to know more about germinating seed atop
agar or alternate, cleaner ways to germinate seed where mold, fungus,
slime and moss growth are much less likely. please email me if youve
got any suggestions. i am dealing mainly with african and south
american drosera seed (since space is a major factor) but may try others
as well.
thanks in advance
matt h.
