WHY I cook it in the sun in the kiddie pool. Texas summer sun scorching on it in a kiddie pool kills anything that was in there. NEVER had bugs in my soil, only thing I ever had was mites from other’s cuts given to me.
I let it dry out done dry, them mix it real well, put in my 30 gallon tote bucket and bring inside. I usually have to adda touch of perlite, seems some blows away or just disappears when drying outside like that.
I always add to the kiddie pool(4 6 gallon Octo sleeves worth in the pool) 1 medium sized bag of Earth worm castings, the extra perlite, mix it well, good to go. 8th or 9th run exactly like that
