Trying to figure out why my soil is molding. We are using Roots Organic with Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Earthworm Castings mixed into the top soil. There has been a heat/humidity issue that we are working to correct but I have found mixed info. Some say to treat the mold with some peroxide mixed into the water, others have said it is good because it is organic soil so it is part of the breakdown process. It seems to mainly be growing on the worm castings and the bags we recently purchased and used seemed way too moist.
When we first saw the mold on the top inch or so of soil 2 days ago we worried and removed the top inch of soil and misted the top of the remaining soil with 1:1 vinegar water. Now I am unsure if that was necessary. Advice?
