Soil & Coco Coir Peeps - Do you sterilize as a precaution?

Interesting Cornell University animation relating to damping off, and touches on sterilized media and vermi-compost as well around 3:45 in video. Not all vermi/compost are equal though, and is more reason to have your own worm bin where you can have oversight of quality and inputs.

I’ve used them ALL!! Lol

Yes the large 5KG/11 lb bricks….I’ve found Botanicare Cocotek seems to be the highest quality and least expensive…but haven’t used them in years!

But…have been using this lately…they have their own issues but I got from another commercial grower for about $4 each!! Bahahaha Think it was 50 blocks for $200…couldn’t pass on the deal!!

Last year I bought a bag if soil that was sitting outside and ended up with soil mites crawling all over my hands and arms every time I touched my pots or plants… No more lol, if the bags are outside I don’t want them.
