I am doing my first box of snow peas, there were going ok till a few days back when I noticed they look like they are dying from the roots up slowly. what is happening? I am not over watering or underwatering. what do I do to get them to stay alive?

Have a look at your potting mix. Most commercial mixes hold so much water your plants are rotting. Take a hand full out and squeeze it and you will see. I am having the same problem with seed raising mixture. Will be making my own from now on
