Damping off

I sowed them in 4" pots, about six seeds to a pot - is that too dense? And I tried to water them without getting any on the actual seedlings - very fiddly. I may have had the compost too moist to start off with as they've only really needed watering once since I took them out of their plastic bags over a week ago. Also, used compost from the pound shop, so I think I've learnt my lesson there :-\
If they survive to the couple of true leaves stage, will they be OK?

don't think the compost's a problem, ours is cheap stuff..I put 4 per 3" pot, pricked out fairly small..I try to keep them quite dry, then water and let them dry ish out again, I tend to under rather than over- water ;D

Say no more ;D-would you thrive in a damp plastic bag?

Heres my 2 pence worth!
1. Water from the bottom
2. After sowing sprinkle with cinnamon
3. Mist with a very weak tea tree oil solution
Never had a damping off problem since
